55+ EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING STATISTICS & TOP TRENDS FOR 2020

Updated on: 21 Jul 2020 by Aris Apostolopoulos, 6 mins to read

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Employee onboarding is gaining momentum, but it’s been around for as long as the
concept of hiring and business have. However, over the past few years, multiple
lists of onboarding trends have popped up. This one’s a little different.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE – 21 JULY 2020: This article was originally published a few days before
the great lockdown. Since then, things in onboarding have changed and a new type
was slowly introduced. And this is no other than remote onboarding.

So, before we start with our onboarding statistics, it would be useful to take a
look at this trend and how it can benefit companies both in a time of crisis and
in the long run.


REMOTE ONBOARDING STATISTICS

It’s no secret that the coronavirus outbreak has made remote work the new
normal. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2017-18, only 25%
of employees worked from home — at least occasionally. Now that the pandemic has
lifted the work-from-home stigma, more and more companies are willing to invest
in this culture.

And with social distancing turning into a mentality, the same goes for remote
onboarding which has been gaining popularity for quite some time now.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, business, as usual, people. Keep reading for the original piece zooming in
on the onboarding statistics and trends, as they’ve been shaped over the past
few years.

Based on employee onboarding statistics from multiple high-authority sources,
this year, we managed to identify the employee onboarding trends you need to
focus on if you want happy, engaged, and productive employees.

But this is not the end. Keep scrolling for 55+ employee onboarding statistics
you didn’t know.


PREBOARDING

The world is changing. And new hires, just like everyone else, are continually
being bombarded with various possibilities and options. And this might be the
reason why ghosting at work has become such a massive trend over the past two
years, or why 65% of employers say they’ve had job seekers accept an offer and
never show up for their first day at work.

To prevent such practices and combine onboarding and retention, there’s only one
thing you need to remember: preboarding.

Preboarding helps you connect with your candidates even before they come in, and
it’s something that best-in-class companies are 35% more likely to do 1. And
they’re best-in-class for a reason.

Preboarding, however, cannot happen in the office since the candidate has not
officially become part of your team yet. To achieve it, the only solution you
should be looking for is an employee onboarding software program.


AUTOMATION

We might be talking about onboarding, but we still haven’t addressed the
elephant in the room. The onboarding process can be intimidating — especially
for beginners who might not even know what onboarding is. And some of the main
challenges, according to HCI, include:

 * Inconsistent application
 * Competing priorities
 * Ability to measure ROI
 * Buy-in
 * Manager accountability
 * Insufficient internal resources

All of them sound reasonable, but, luckily, there’s a solution: automation.

By automating your onboarding process, you can make sure that:

 * Your learners will get their notifications on time
 * Your managers will get their reminders to complete their tasks
 * The system, in regular intervals, will generate a custom report so you can
   measure your ROI

All automatically.

CULTUREBOARDING

It’s been in many onboarding statistics roundups for quite some time now. But
today, more than ever, cultureboarding needs our attention.

If you’ve hired experienced professionals who, more or less, know the
responsibilities their job role comes with, sooner or later, they’ll get a grasp
of the hard skills required for the job. But what about company culture?

Processes, expectations, cultural fit, transparency… The list of the
company-culture-related themes that a new hire can’t get familiar with that
easily can go on forever. And still, 61% of new hires don’t get any training on
it.

Offer company culture training during your employee onboarding process, and try
to make sure everybody knows what a day at the office feels like – even before
they accept the offer.

With 31% of employees quitting their job within their first 6 months, and 33% of
employees saying that they want their managers to onboard them, it comes as no
surprise that new hires want real relationships and to learn more about how
colleagues communicate with each other and what the vibe in the office feels
like.


AMBASSADORS

The trend of onboarding ambassadors is based on the concept of cultureboarding
described above. Assigning a new hire with a company ambassador (aka “onboarding
buddy”) helps them feel welcomed and part of the group, even if they’ve just
stepped their foot on the doorstep.

Here are some interesting onboarding statistics to consider:

Microsoft wanted to measure the effect of onboarding buddies and their impact on
productivity. As it turned out, 56% of new hires who met with an ambassador at
least once in their first 90 days of their employee onboarding suggested that
they became productive in their role faster. For those who met two to three
times with their buddy in the same amount of days, the number increased to 73%,
while for new hires who met four to eight times, the number skyrocketed to 86%.

And as for those who met with their ambassador more than eight times in their
first 90 days at work? A whopping 97% say it affected their productivity
extremely positively.


CROSSBOARDING

Time to talk about the newest kid on the block. All the recent onboarding
statistics and trends point in one direction: crossboarding.

Crossboarding came out of the shadows pretty recently, when companies realized
that another way to fill a position is to do it by assigning their employees
with a different job role and reskilling them.

Basically, crossboarding uses the organization’s current assets to fill in work
opportunities that emerge instead of looking for new candidates. Each company
takes their current talent pool, trains them, and encourages them to acquire the
required skills to meet their new role’s expectations.

The benefits of crossboarding include cost reduction, employee motivation and
development, as well as a better understanding of the company culture. And it
all happens with training.
