      Behind the Report 

      Onboarding is the foundation of employee success. It’s often the beginning of their induction into being an employee. Yet, many organizations struggle to deliver onboarding that’s consistent, engaging, and aligned with business goals.  

      This report was created to explore a key question: How can organizations modernize onboarding to meet the needs of today’s workforce?  

      By surveying hundreds of learning leaders, we set out to:  

      • Understand how onboarding is currently delivered — and where it’s falling short.  

      • Identify the most common challenges, from resource constraints to lack of personalization.  

      • Provide actionable strategies to improve onboarding outcomes and employee experience.  

      Why It Matters 

      Onboarding isn’t just a first impression, it’s a strategic lever for retention, engagement and performance. But most organizations aren’t getting it right.  

      Here’s why this is relevant:  

      • Only 1 in 5 organizations truly excel at onboarding. The rest are missing key opportunities to support new hires.  

      • Consistency and personalization are critical. Without them, onboarding can feel disjointed and ineffective.  

      • Multimodal delivery is the new standard. 89% of organizations use multiple formats to meet diverse learning needs.  

      • Onboarding doesn’t have to start on day one, but it does need to be intentional. Learn how to design onboarding that works, even when timing isn’t perfect.  

      Whether you’re building, selling or advising on onboarding, this research will equip you with the data and direction to guide smarter strategy.
