In a recent study, more than 75% of companies with an effective onboarding process for their new employees, stated that they found a big co-relation between onboarding and employee retention? Productivity is a by-product of employees who know exactly what their role is in a company. Clarity of processes, reporting and work culture of an organization is a major tool in helping employees perform better. And all of this can be systematically achieved, right from the beginning, through a well-defined onboarding process.
But why should businesses invest in a lengthy, tedious onboarding process? What are the benefits that they receive, of acclimatising new hires and inducting them into the company culture? Our Saransh experts list the top 4 benefits for your consideration:
Reduced Stress in New Employees
Joining a new company can be nerve-wrecking, especially for freshers. Being unaware of what processes to follow, they might find themselves making minor mistakes, being unsure of what to do. An introduction to the organisation’s culture helps them to understand and prepare for work. They get the confidence of being a part of the team and contributing equally, without hesitation. This also means getting work done faster and better.
Better productivity for the company
A new employee who can immediately start providing results is every company’s dream. An effective onboarding process helps in achieving this. New employees who are trained in the company’s processes are able to perform unmonitored and with better outputs. Thus, immediately starting a new employee on a process may seem as a time-saver, but is far from the truth. It’s always better to build a strong foundation and then build the skills from bottom upwards.
Increased employee satisfaction
An onboarding process is a chance for communicating with the employee. By spending time with the new hires, managers get a chance to share the company’s vision and goals. They are able to inculcate the right mind-set in the employees. This helps in making the employees feel valued and as an integral part of the team. This plays a major role in increasing employee satisfaction.
Systematic growth for the company
Not only for the employees, but a good onboarding process helps even managers to exactly know how to train a new employee. They do not need to always come up with a new training schedule every time a new employee joins the organisation. Just like every other process, automating the onboarding process saves a lot of valuable time for the managers, and gives them clarity on what needs to be done.
