A killer onboarding experience does more than make new hires feel welcome, it builds the foundation for performance, trust, and long-term retention.

Yet too often, onboarding is treated like a checklist, not a catalyst.

Here’s what we’re seeing across mid-market companies:

New hires are overwhelmed, not oriented.

Onboarding timelines are compressed.
Managers are unclear on their role in onboarding.
Early attrition is creeping up and costly.
Culture is being “told” not “shown.

These aren’t just people's problems. They’re growth constraints in disguise. Your people strategy is only as strong as the systems it’s built into.

At Talent Growth Partners, we help build onboarding experiences that drive performance and connection from day one, not just “fill out your benefits form" day one.
