The survey revealed that while management - level employees received their computers promptly, more junior employees sometimes waited weeks before they were in a position to start work.

New employees tend to join organizations with a high degree of commitment. As time goes by, however, this “Honeymoon Effect” begins to dissipate. How much it dissipates and the consequences for hard work, productivity, and organizational citizenship depend largely on the extent of the disconnect between the new employee’s expectations and reality.
Organizations are recognizing that how they handle the process of integrating new employees is critical to both how quickly they become contributors and how committed they become to their new organization. Given the well documented studies that show that turnover costs are the largest controllable expense incurred by most organizations, getting off on the right foot with newly acquired talent is an important effort.
HumanR provides New Hire Surveys to help client organizations gauge how well hiring and on-boarding processes are working.
HumanR’s new hire surveys provide metrics on important issues that drive employee expectations and how they are met. Topics typically covered include:
- The hiring process
- Initial working conditions
- Orientation
- Roles and responsibilities
- Training
- Interactions with management
Results are reported for the organization overall, by department, and by appropriate demographic variables.
