How you introduce employees to your company can either prime them for success or leave them worried about their new role. Unfortunately, it’s often the latter. Only 12% of employees say their company does a good job of onboarding. So what's the key to ensuring employees feel excited, energized, and eager to start contributing?

The recognition solution

The days following an accepted job offer and the first few weeks in a new position are important periods of transition. Infuse them with recognition to help each employee feel welcome and important in your workplace culture.

Research from the O.C. Tanner Institute shows a positive onboarding experience leads
to increased odds of:

Feeling included: 5x

A sense of wellbeing: 9x

Thriving at work: 11x
