Benefits of Structured New Hire Onboarding

May 11th, 2023 | 2 min. read

By Payday HCM

Employee onboarding is the comprehensive process of introducing new employees to their new roles and preparing them for the job duties they will be performing in a potential long term. Onboarding is one of the most crucial steps in the whole employee life cycle. According to Deloitte, 69% of employees are more likely to stay with a company for three years if they had a positive onboarding experience.

With that being said, a structured and efficient onboarding process is of utmost importance. This article talks about some key benefits of a structured onboarding process and how it’ll help both the employee and employer in the long run.

 

Reduced Costs & Stress 

A structured onboarding process can help save money by going paperless and reduce angst by having all required HR documents in an electronic format for easy storage. During a structured onboarding process, you can make sure that the new employee understands expectations and has a clear vision of the company’s values, which will reduce the stress that comes along with starting a new job.

Utilizing onboarding software can help save time by streamlining the onboarding process for both HR administrators and employees, making it a simple, fast, and hassle-free experience. When rehiring terminated employees, a structured onboarding system also makes it easy to re-board employees electronically and have them update information that may have changed.

 

Increased Employee Satisfaction

A structured onboarding process can provide employees with a quick comprehensive day-one look at the company policies, values, and culture. It can help make a good first impression for your new hire, demonstrating that your company is staying current with technology with efficient onboarding software that makes their onboarding experience easy, fast, and hassle-free. By spending time with the new hire and providing information about the goals and vision of the company as well as outlining job duties, you can provide a foundation for increased satisfaction.

 

Improved Employee Retention & Performance

When employees are happy within a company, the odds of them seeking other opportunities are much lower. As a result, stress reduction, improved performance, and job satisfaction all add up to the ultimate goal of higher rates of retention.  When a new hire clearly understands the expectations of the job as well as the company culture, it’s easier for them to start performing better and meet the expectations faster. A structured onboarding process can also give new employees a good understanding of what resources are available within a company for them to learn, uplevel their skills, and improve performance consistently.
