3 Preamble People are the lifeline of any business and great businesses understand and nurture this lifeline. If the people are excited, motivated and connected with the people, values and culture, they go extra mile to make the organization successful. And, there is no better time to start this journey than just after they have accepted the offer? Typical Onboarding starts on the first day of the job. In the new paradigm, the Onboarding should start from the day they have accepted the offer. They should continue to connect and celebrate every day in anticipation of the new job on the premise, we are glad you chose us.

4 Top Drivers for Effective Onboarding Employers New Hires

5 ROI of Employee Onboarding Programs While the benefits of Onboarding are many but when it comes to presenting a ROI analysis for Onboarding investments, many HR leaders would struggle. The struggle is not only in terms of the time consumed but understanding all the direct and indirect costs as well as benefits and quantifying their impact. Use this guide to help you identify the components and how to calculate their impact that can be put on the ROI analysis. While this guide would be helpful in estimating the direct cost, use feedback surveys, baseline improvements on key metrics, NPS, Social listening, etc. to attribute indirect benefits. While preparing the ROI sheet, HR leaders should be careful about taking at least a three year horizon as some of the benefits accrue over a slightly longer time period like three years.

6 Components of ROI We believe there are four major components of Employee Onboarding ROI.

7 1. Reduction in No-Show rate There is no bigger uncertainty than waiting for a candidate to join and the candidate informing that he has picked up a counter offer. Structured Pre-Onboarding helps organizations reduce the no-show rate after offer acceptance by giving warning signals much in advance. The programs don t promise to eradicate the problem but reduce it to a large extent and let talent acquisition leaders be better prepared for the rest.
