There are two business critical reasons why you should invest in Onboarding Talent in 2010:
1. Budgets for Onboarding are increasing amongst your competitors based upon the latest research conducted by Aberdeen Group, onboarding will be an extremely important topic this year. 60% state the importance of onboarding is increasing this year. 40% surveyed said that they are increasing their budget this year. You need to position your company is not fall behind on these initiatives and get your employees up to speed at a much faster pace, thereby increasing individual & organizational productivity.
2. Severe Financial Ramifications of Ineffective Onboarding The direct cost of recruitment, according to Staffing.org and the Bureau of National Affairs, ranges from 5 percent to about 21 percent of annual compensation, and ineffective onboarding could mean wasting these investments. The Institute of Industrial Relations at the University of California, Berkeley, has estimated that the total cost of employee turnover is 150 percent of annual compensation, including hiring costs and more intangible elements such as “ramp-up time and lost productivity while the job is vacant.”
