## Poor Onboarding Hurts Retention and Productivity

When onboarding falls short, the company pays the price. Up to [20% of employee turnover](https://hbr.org/2018/12/to-retain-new-hires-spend-more-time-onboarding-them) happens in the first 45 days, and replacing a single new hire can cost [90–200% of their annual salary](https://www.shrm.org/content/dam/en/shrm/topics-tools/news/Retaining-Talent.pdf). At the same time, only [12% of employees](https://www.shrm.org/content/dam/en/shrm/topics-tools/news/Retaining-Talent.pdf) say their organization does a great job onboarding. The result is wasted time, lost productivity, and preventable churn.

Investing in better onboarding pays off quickly. Structured onboarding programs are linked to [50% higher retention and 62% faster productivity.](https://www.bamboohr.com/about-bamboohr/press-release/44-of-new-hires-regret-their-decision-within-a-week-bamboohr-study-finds)

Better onboarding means stronger retention, more productivity, and lower costs. **We can help you get there.**
