The hiring process doesn’t end at a signed offer letter: 46% of new employees will churn within 18 months on the job, after all. Hiring needs to seamlessly roll into onboarding and development, and businesses need clear and compelling approaches to new-hire ramp-up to prevent regrettable attrition.
In an ideal world, this means onboarding journeys tailor-made to every new hire, and a combination of AI and behavioral insights are invaluable here. AI serves up not only a predictive score, but also actionable insights concerning each new hire, with targeted growth areas and suggestions on how to manage and collaborate with new hires to maximize hiring outcomes.
Predictive data allows managers to personalize early conversations with new hires and fine-tune each ramp-up plan thanks to signals on strengths, gaps, career interests, working styles, and more. This is especially helpful intelligence for first-time managers preparing for how new hires might fit into the team, and for more experienced managers to accelerate time-to-productivity.
Individualized onboarding guides play up each hire’s singular strengths, proactively address their gaps and growth areas, and allow managers to lean into each employee’s work motivations, invest in their career growth early, and know how to best support them along the way. Tuning onboarding plans to AI-assisted assessment feedback also means employees stay longer in previously high-turnover roles.
