Almost half of workers would quit or cut hours over poor healthcare
One in 10 workers have had no formal onboarding, survey finds
People Management covered HBHR’s survey of 1,000 UK workers on onboarding. One in 10 (9%) said they had no formal onboarding when starting a role, and 12% said they had received little or no formal training.
The research also found that one in 10 workers had seriously considered quitting within a month of starting a new role, while 9% had left a job in the first three months. 9% took more than a year to feel fully settled and productive, and a further 7% said they never reached that point.
Age made a difference. 16% of 25 to 34 year olds said onboarding had negatively affected their view of an employer, compared with 3% of 45 to 54 year olds.
The article brings in views from First Ascent Group, Avenir Consulting and Robert Walters on the manager’s role in keeping new starters.
