Why does traditional employee onboarding fall short?

Traditional employee onboarding falls short because 20% of new hires leave within their first 45 days. People with a poor onboarding experience are twice as likely to look for another job soon after, and 1 in 5 are unlikely to recommend their employer (Digitate, 2018). Rrahul Sethi of Metaverse911 shared these figures at The CODE event.

How can HR teams use the metaverse for onboarding and engagement?

HR teams can use the metaverse for immersive onboarding beyond paperwork and presentations, practice of real-life scenarios with immediate feedback, gamification with challenges and rewards, and virtual events, town halls and team-building in immersive spaces. Rrahul Sethi of Metaverse911 set out these uses for 500+ HR leaders at The CODE event by EMB.
