MAN 336 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Employee Engagement, Job Satisfaction, Information Overload
Document Summary
These are just some of the questions new hires often have as they enter the new organization. By providing a structured onboarding program, new hires know what to expect when they arrive and how necessary information will be made available. The effective onboarding process can also reinforce realistic job expectations and demonstrate the values and behaviors that the organization expects and rewards: an effective onboarding process can help to lower overall new employee start-up costs by improving retention. Employees who connect and engage with the organization and their work through onboarding are less likely to leave the organization. They also tend to have better job attitudes (positive thoughts and beliefs about the work they do, the organization they work for, and their coworkers), as well as higher overall job satisfaction, which is linked to retention. Effective onboarding processes can also help employees learn their jobs and organizational processes faster, which also allows employees to reach full productivity faster.
