Unemployment has fallen below 4% for the first time since the mid-1970’s, and 473.000 more people are in work than compared to 2018 causing the employment rate to reach an all time high of 76.1%. Attracting - and retaining staff is more critical than ever before. (Gov.uk)

Studies have shown that 87% of employees are less likely to leave a company when they are engaged and recognised. Offering onboarding support is vital when hiring employees as it allows new employees to be productive and to show their skills and knowledge and more motivated, plus will retain the talent vital to the organisation. 
 
IMPROVING YOUR ONBOARDING PROCESS
 
When a new employee joins there is much at stake - both for them as an individual and for the recruiting organisation. Starting a new role is an important time of personal transition. There are many interventions that can be adopted to ensure a smooth and welcoming first week - however what is often not fully appreciated is that starting a new role is an important and often challenging time of personal transition. Usually, the focus is on the practical, rather than the emotional support required at this time. 
 
Offering onboarding coaching during this critical time can help ensure individuals are energised, engaged and focused on delivering the result for which they have been hired... a coach to provide practical and emotional support during this critical time. Managing this process well, will vastly increase the likelihood of successful employee onboarding.
