Bring Them Aboard QUICKER
Onboarding, also called "organizational socialization", is the process of helping your new employees get up to speed on the knowledge, behaviors, and skills needed to become productive in your company. In the construction industry, this can be a steep learning curve, which comes with a great deal of terminology and a lot of different players who contribute to the finished project. Each employee represents your organization's brand, values, and culture, so investing in their success from the beginning is critical to maintaining your reputation and growing your business.
Check out these stats from the Harvard Business Review that show why it's important to get new employees acclimated as quickly as possible:
* Nearly 1/3 of new hires look for a job within their first six months on the job
* 23% of new hires look for a new job before their first anniversary
* The costs of employee turnover can be between 100% and 300% of the replaced employee's salary
* It typically takes eight months for a new employee to reach their full productivity (in construction industry sales, the rumor is 18 months!)
By providing new employees with engaging eTrainings, you can ensure each employee receives consistent information in a timely manner, thereby reducing the speed-to-performance, increasing employee confidence, and boosting your retention rates.
