Embed – Onboarding & Retention Support
Make every new hire feel like part of the team
A great recruitment process shouldn’t end at the offer stage, it should flow straight into a confident, structured onboarding experience. When onboarding lacks structure, communication or follow-up, new hires can quickly disengage. Most early leavers don’t quit their jobs, they quit uncertainty.
We help clients build onboarding processes that are proactive, personal, and measurable. This ensures the first few months set the tone for long-term success.
Common issues
- No consistent onboarding plan across teams
- Managers unsure how to support or measure new starter success
- IT access or setup issues on day one
- Early engagement risks not identified until it’s too late
- Disconnect between hiring and HR once the offer is signed
We create onboarding programmes that deliver value and contribute to the future success of your hiring strategy.
How it works
Our onboarding and retention support combines best-practice frameworks with client-specific insight.
We help you define what “good onboarding” looks like for your business, then give you the tools to deliver it consistently.
Typical process:
- Discovery session – understand your current onboarding setup and early attrition trends.
- Onboarding toolkit – create or refine templates, checklists, and welcome materials.
- Manager playbook – build clear 30–60–90 day plans with ownership and accountability.
- Pre-start engagement – implement communication touchpoints between offer and start date.
- Retention pulse surveys – collect structured feedback at weeks 2, 6, and 12 to spot risks early.
