Engagement is the cornerstone of effective onboarding. When organizations prioritize connection and clarity from day one, the benefits extend far beyond the first week — improving performance, strengthening culture, and driving long-term retention.
Yet, research shows the stakes are high: nearly two-thirds of employees may leave within their first year due to a poor onboarding experience, and only 12% of employees feel their company gets onboarding right.
This comprehensive 90-day onboarding guide can help you build a better experience for new employees. It's designed to streamline processes, lighten administrative load, and create meaningful moments that foster belonging from day one — so you're fully equipped to deliver an exceptional, lasting first impression.
