Executive Onboarding
Accelerating Time to Impact
Research shows that 50% to 70% of executives fail within 18 months of taking on a role, regardless of whether they were an external hire or promoted from within.1
Despite this, many companies rely heavily on their new leaders to self-manage their transitions. But your new executive deserves your support.
Provide them with the support they need through our executive onboarding. You'll benefit by:
- Achieving results faster
- Reducing the chances of failure
- Building productive relationships and much more
Proper executive onboarding not only guarantees career success for your new hire but also ensures a robust return on investment for you, our valued client.
Onboarding is Much More Than an Office Tour
Consider the facts
- Effective leadership transitions increase the chances of teams achieving their 3-year performance goals by 90%.2
- When a leader is having a tough time with a transition, 20% of their direct reports are likely to become disengaged or leave the organization.2
- Replacing an employee can cost three to four times their salary.3
