Working in staffing, I've often heard feedback from recruiters and clients about high turnover rates, lack of retention, and employees who ghost within 1-3 days of starting a job. So, what's the solution? In my experience (knowing there’s always extenuating circumstances) a positive onboarding experience, a warm welcome from the manager on the first day, and a solid training program can make a huge difference! It's important to remember that the first few days at a new job can be overwhelming and stressful for employees. Providing a welcoming and supportive environment can help ease their transition and set them up for success. A well-structured training program can also give employees the tools they need to excel in their new role. As a manager or recruiter, investing in a positive onboarding experience and a solid training program can save time and resources in the long run. It can also lead to happier and more productive employees, lower turnover rates, and ultimately, a more successful business. What’re your thoughts?

Here’s the truth about recruiting and retaining top-notch employees - YOU need to provide them with the support they need to thrive in your business. So if you notice multiple unsuccessful hires for a position, take it as a sign to delve deeper and reevaluate your hiring process. Here are 10 pitfalls to look out for when hiring new staff: - You didn’t fully plan out what you were looking for in the role and therefore didn’t properly express the job requirements. You oversold the role within the description and interview process. Similarly, you may have overemphasized the strength of your company culture to your candidate. - Your onboarding process lacked a clear outline of the role, leading to confusion about expectations and the path to success. - The lack of clear communication regarding their autonomy impeded their self-sufficiency in tasks. - The systems and processes were designed with your learning style in mind, lacking the versatility to accommodate various learning preferences. This resulted in vital information being miscommunicated or missed. - You expected the new hire to solve problems they weren’t equipped to handle. They struggled to understand the nuances of your business due to feeling overwhelmed during the onboarding process. - You overlooked essential aspects of team building, such as highlighting the personalities of yourself and your staff, which contribute to fostering an effective collaborative work ethic. - The expectations for the role were either unrealistic, underdeveloped, or not adequately communicated. - You didn’t provide the feedback necessary to be successful and meet your objectives for the role. - Your pursuit for “the perfect employee” was your focus rather than fostering an environment that promotes growth and achievement. In order to attract and retain talented employees, you need to be proactive in understanding their needs and creating an environment where they can excel. Continuously monitor the effectiveness of your onboarding and seek out feedback from current employees to make improvements. Always remember, investing in the success and development of your employees provides invaluable benefits to your business long term.

Companies dedicate significant time, money, and resources to finding the most suitable candidates to join their teams. However, finding the right candidate is only the beginning. A well-structured onboarding process is crucial to ensuring the success of a new employee. A poor or missing onboarding process can lead to frustration, demotivation, and even failure, which could affect all the investment and effort made during the recruitment phase. If the new employee has all the technical skills required for the job, then it's the employer's responsibility to provide them with all the necessary tools to perform their tasks effectively. Regardless of their experience, the new hire is new to your organization, and it's essential to provide them with a guided induction to your organization's processes, communication tools, and environment. The duration of the onboarding process can vary, but a minimum of two weeks is a healthy standard. As a company leader, it's crucial to ask yourself if you're providing your new employees with the keys to success.
