Why is inadequate onboarding so common? In my global survey of 1100 CEOs and hiring managers, only 4% had an onboarding process of 90 days, while 83% had a new hire onboarding lasting less than 14 days. Furthermore, according to Gallup, only 12% of employees strongly agree that their organisation does a great job onboarding new staff. How is it that so few organisations do a great job of it? There are three structural reasons contributing to widespread ineffective onboarding.
No clear ownership
Onboarding is a “once in a while” process without a clear owner. You’re probably very clear about who is accountable for budget allocation at your organisation.
