A new employee’s first step into the company should be more than just receiving a desk and an email address. Engagement and cultural adaptation begin on day one.
Here’s the secret: Research shows that 70% of employees decide whether they’ll stay at a company within the first 44 days.
That’s why onboarding isn’t just an administrative process — it’s a strategic investment in employee experience.
Why Is Onboarding So Critical?
A new hire isn’t just trying to understand their role. They’re also trying to quickly grasp the company’s:
• Culture
• Values
• Communication style
• Team dynamics
• Psychological safety
Without a clear, thoughtful onboarding experience, this transition becomes challenging — leading to disengagement and early exits.
