Congratulations on becoming a leader!! This can be one of the most exhilarating – and terrifying – moments in your business journey. While it’s important to be excited about your new hire, it’s equally as important to manage your expectations as a new leader.

New leaders often struggle the most in the first 90 days. And, studies have found that 1 in 4 new hires quit within the first 90 days. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

The part of the hiring process that is arguably the most important (especially to your new team member), but is frequently undervalued and glossed over is the Onboarding Phase.

One in 4 new hires quit within their first 90 days on the job (and recent studies are starting to show that this number is edging closer to 1 in 3 these days).

Not only is it frustrating when an employee quits, it’s also very expensive.

Once you hire your dream team member, it’s time for them to get started! Now the fun really begins. But you might have a few questions about how to create a successful new hire onboarding experience, such as:

What should I do to make sure my new hire gets off to a great start?

How do I help them get up to speed quickly without killing my own momentum?

What exactly should I be going over with them in that first week?

Today, I’m going to share four tips with you that will answer these common questions and help you create a great experience for your new hires.
