Consider that four percent of new employees leave after a disastrous first day and twenty percent leave after only six months. Successful pre-boarding can help mitigate common reasons a new employee could become part of these statistics.The entire onboarding experience can last from the moment the offer is accepted and extend well into their first year of employment, but by creating a pre-boarding experience, you can link the recruiting marketing momentum to the first days in the office. Utilizing the time period from offer acceptance to day one requires a system and outreach to the new hire that is on their terms and accessible from any device. Enter PerStart, the program that is self-directed and available when the new employee has time.Pre-boarding with PerStart specifically provides an overview of the resources, practical guides, and information about the organization, which prepare the new hire for the first day. Pre-boarding provides the continuum from recruiting and interviewing to the onboarding activities which will be essential to the new employee’s first month and first quarter successes.
