Onboarding That Optimizes Retention

According to HRMorning, when it comes to onboarding, there are four C’s that are directly tied to your success:

• Compliance – help employees understand legal and policy rules and regulations
• Culture – demonstrate the company’s mission and values
• Connection – put newcomers at ease with their surroundings and coworkers
• Communication – discuss goals and expectations, especially early on

Onboarding programs that are most effective address each of these areas with great specificity. Because the more specific you are, the better prepared your new hire will be. Better preparation leads to more confidence and productivity. And that, in turn, leads to better retention.
