Abstract

Onboarding is process of advancing the behaviors that will be the foundation of an employee's long-term success with managers involved in the process. Five themes emerged in the literature review for onboarding new Registered Nurses (RN): consistency, partnership, critical reasoning, learning style, and transition. The self-directed, or learner-driven, married-state process implies adult learning protocols in a consistent partnership between learner and coach are effective.

Description

According to a white paper by Freeman (2013):

• Up to 4% of new employees will resign after day one

• Most employees make up their minds to stay or leave within the first six months

• 22% of new employee turnover occurs within the first 45 days

• With a learner-driven onboarding process, 58% of employees can still be with the facility in three years.
