When it comes to improving new hire productivity and retention,
Kenexa (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for
human resources, and Boston-based Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks
Company (NYSE: HHS), are in agreement: onboarding matters.
According to Aberdeen's onboarding research report, organizations
with a standard onboarding process experienced 54% greater new hire
productivity, 50% greater new hire retention and two-times the
level of new hire engagement.
"The findings point to two clear differentiators of top
performance," said Mollie Lombardi, senior research analyst for
Human Capital Management, Aberdeen. "First, organizations must
standardize the process to ensure a quality experience, and then
they must automate that process to gain efficiencies."
Derek Bluestone, vice president of Product Marketing at Kenexa,
commented, "Aberdeen's research demonstrates that efficient
onboarding leads directly to business growth. Deploying an
optimized onboarding solution helps nurture new recruits, speed
time to productivity, improve employee engagement and eliminate
manual, paper based processes."
Kenexa has long-been a leader in the onboarding category. Three
of the top five of the Fortune 100 rely on the Kenexa 2x™ platform
to power their Talent Management business processes. The company's
onboarding offering, Kenexa 2x Onboard™, is a powerful SaaS-based
