Reducing turnover of new hires

Article Abstract:

Businesses can reduce short-term resignations among new employees through mentoring, an assimilation system that addresses new employee needs and eases their transition into the workplace. The objective of the system should be to provide information and guidance to all new employees rather than singling out a select few. Among the benefits to the employer are: enhanced productivity, rapid identification of the employee with the firm, improved loyalty and commitment, direction of energies to performance-related activities, rapid learning and growth, and understanding of performance criteria. Survey research in Fortune 500 corporations indicates that the selected mentor should be a peer of the employee with a similar academic and work background. Mentoring falls into three phases: (1) before the employee arrives, (2) the first two weeks of employment, and (3) after two weeks.
