"A new survey from Software Finder of 1,010 employees who were hired within the last two years found that employees' onboarding experiences varied greatly. While almost half (46%) found onboarding procedures to be welcoming, and about a third (34%) said their onboarding was well-structured, many described the experience in negative terms. About a third (29%) said the process was disorganized, 26% described it as rushed, and 21% called it underwhelming."
"A bad onboarding experience can impact how long employees want to stay with the company, the survey found. Nearly half of employees (48%) who said they had a bad onboarding experience, said they wanted to leave the company within six months. However, employees with positive onboarding experiences felt differently. Nearly 4 in 10 (39%) said an effective onboarding actually increased their desire to stick around long term."
A survey of 1,010 employees hired within the last two years shows wide variation in onboarding quality. Forty-six percent of respondents described onboarding as welcoming and 34% said it was well-structured, while 29% called it disorganized, 26% said it was rushed, and 21% labeled it underwhelming. Only 28% felt prepared for their role after onboarding, and 67% said onboarding did not accurately represent their responsibilities or the company. Negative onboarding strongly correlates with early departure intentions (48% wanted to leave within six months). Positive onboarding increases desire to stay, connection to the company, and future work engagement.
