Are employers providing onboarding programs and practices to their new hires? More than 80% of organizations reported that they have either formal (i.e., written, documented, standard) or informal onboarding programs and/or practices. The vast majority of organizations indicated that providing communication, training and resources is extremely important for the successful adjustment of new hires. SHRM conducted a survey about organizations’ onboarding programs and practices, timing and duration of onboarding programs and organizational barriers to offering formal onboarding activities.
