1. Business Case for beyondboarding™
(pre-boarding • onboarding • post-boarding)

2. "Layoffs, cutbacks and stress inflicted on
employees in the economic downturn have left
many of them discontented and disengaged. As
this pent-up frustration is released, the impact on
businesses, their work forces and their customers
will be pronounced."
- Jon Picoult, New York Times
"Turnover Storm"

3. Given The Landscape
How Does Your Organization Ensure It...
• Effectively integrates acquired and hired employees
and builds engagement?
• Attracts the right talent with the right skills, in the right
locations, at the right times?
• Retains top talent in a globally competitive talent
market?

4. Companies must respond to these
challenges with…
innovative sourcing, recruitment,
onboarding and
development programs.

5. Current Landscape
Did You Know…
• Manpower's 2010 Talent Shortage Survey revealed that 31
percent of employers worldwide are having difficulty filling
positions due to the lack of suitable talent available in their
markets, an increase of 1 percent over last year's survey. The
immediate problem is not the number of potential candidates –
it is a talent mismatch. There are not enough sufficiently skilled
people in the right places at the right times.
• Employers are seeking more specific skill sets and combination
of skills, and it's not just technical capabilities alone. It's a
combination of critical thinking skills or other qualities that will
help drive the company forward. (
Manpower's 2010 Talent Shortage Survey)
• Key talent findings from PwC's 14th Annual Global CEO Survey
show that talent is the top priority for CEOs, moving up from
third on the agenda in last year's survey.

6. Current Landscape
And Consider This…
• 89 percent of new hires lack the institutional knowledge required to get up to speed
quickly and become effective on the job within their first 90 days. (DDI White Paper)
• Nearly 15 percent of new employees consider quitting after the first day because of a
poor initial experience. (Taleo: 10 Talent Management Best Practices for 2011)
• More than 20 percent of employee turnover occurs in the first 45 days. (Wynhurst Group,
an Arlington, Virginia based Human Resources firm)
• New employees who went through a structured onboarding program were 58 percent
more likely to be with the organization after three years. (Wynhurst Group, an Arlington,
Virginia based Human Resources firm)
• Some 27 percent of employees deemed "high potential" said they plan to leave within the
year. That rate of dissatisfaction is rising "precipitously" as the economy stabilizes, says
Jean Martin, executive director of the CEB's Corporate Leadership Council, up from just 10
percent in 2006 and increasing at twice the rate of the general employee population. (
