Successful Onboarding

Given the significant cost of recruitment, the authors of this book state their surprise as to the little efforts engaged by companies to give their new recruits all the chances to succeed, and to build their loyalty. And the conclusion is clear: many newcomers think of quitting the company while still in their first months on the job.

To improve the return on investment, this highly practical book explains, step by step and through numerous concrete examples, how to elaborate an onboarding strategy that leads new staff members to succeed: for example, involve all the staff members, foster the newcomers’ performance by enabling them to rapidly achieve their first results, ensure that you use the right motivation levers. But also, and most importantly, it explains how to avoid the many traps that lead new recruits to discouragement, demotivation, or even resignation.
