Engagement is linked to business performance outcomes. A Singapore case study found higher engagement among top performing senior leaders. Engagement in Singapore had declined in the prior year after several years of improvement. New hire engagement starts high but declines within the first year if not supported. Taking a developmental approach to onboarding by addressing needs like competence, relatedness, and growth at different stages can help maintain engagement over time. Companies in Singapore have high recruitment rates, replacing about 1 in 3 employees annually, so onboarding is important. Feedback allows companies to track onboarding progress against milestones.

Editor's Notes
- #11: Based on our research, we have found that the key to successful onboarding is making sure your employees are having the right experience at the right time. Weve found that employees have four unique needs during the course of the first year. First, new employees need to feel welcomed. Weve found that new hires want a couple basic things. They need information, introductions, and a place to call their own a desk or workspace with tools and resources. If you dont meet these needs in the first few weeks, new hires often become anxious and feel overlooked. Second, new hires need to feel they are getting the support and training they need to do their job. If these needs are not being met during the first month on the job, your new hires may start to feel disoriented and overloaded. Third, new hires need to feel connected to their boss, their team, and their colleagues. This can take time, but if your new hires are not feeling a sense of connection to the company by the three month mark, they may start to reconsider their decision to join. Finally, new hires need to feel like they are competent and capable. Few things are more engaging for todays employees than a sense of growth and development. If your employees are not starting to experience a sense of personal development, mastery, and growth by the 6 month mark, they will likely start to feel frustrated and demoralized. When these critical needs are met, new employees are not only more engaged, but they also likely to perform better.
