Dive Insight:
Ian Cameron, Managing Director at the institute, says companies invest a lot of time and money finding and hiring the right people, but the firm has seen so many of them fail because there was no or little investment in onboarding.
The guide details the process of integrating a new hire into a company, which, according to the guide, has multiple stages and lasts for up to, and sometimes beyond, a year.
