Ensuring a seamless onboarding experience for new employees is pivotal for fostering engagement and retention. Surprisingly, approximately 60% of businesses overlook setting goals or milestones for their fresh recruits, leading to a mere 12% satisfaction rate among employees regarding their onboarding process.
