You\u2019re handed a thick onboarding manual or logged into a lengthy webinar, trying to absorb a flood of information you\u2019ll likely forget by next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strikes a chord?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this outdated approach is still the norm for many organizations, but it\u2019s also one of the fastest ways to lose a promising hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the reality: <em>How<\/em> you onboard your employees sets the tone for their success\u2014and yours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A study conducted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/b2b-assets.glassdoor.com\/the-true-cost-of-a-bad-hire.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/b2b-assets.glassdoor.com\/the-true-cost-of-a-bad-hire.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brandon Hall Group for Glassdoor<\/a> revealed that an <strong>effective onboarding process boosts new hire retention rates by 82% and enhances their productivity by more than 70%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, many companies still struggle to get it right, often leaving new employees disengaged and unsure of their role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playablo.com\/CorporateLearning\/Blog\/microlearning\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6920\">microlearning<\/a><\/strong> enters the scene.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring a new employee isn\u2019t cheap. On average, companies spend <strong>$3,798<\/strong> just to bring an executive-level employee onboard.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playablo.com\/CorporateLearning\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-15.png\" alt=\"microlearning for onboarding\" class=\"wp-image-7284\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a significant investment\u2014but what\u2019s even more alarming is how quickly that investment can disappear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/85broads\/2013\/07\/19\/how-not-to-lose-your-new-employees-in-their-first-45-days\/#41b106653be3\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/85broads\/2013\/07\/19\/how-not-to-lose-your-new-employees-in-their-first-45-days\/#41b106653be3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20% of new hires<\/a> leave within their first 45 days<\/strong>, often because they feel overwhelmed, disengaged, or unprepared to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it: you\u2019ve spent weeks\u2014maybe months\u2014finding the perfect candidate. But the first thing they experience is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playablo.com\/CorporateLearning\/Blog\/preboarding-and-onboarding\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6381\">onboarding process<\/a> that feels more like a firehose of information than a thoughtful introduction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re handed dense manuals, rushed through generic presentations, or left alone to navigate a maze of policies and tools. It\u2019s no wonder many of them decide it\u2019s not a good fit before they\u2019ve even settled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where microlearning can make all the difference. Instead of overwhelming new hires with endless information, microlearning breaks training into small, digestible modules. It focuses on what matters most\u2014giving new employees the knowledge and confidence to hit the ground running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Not only does this approach reduce onboarding costs by minimizing turnover, but it also maximizes your return on investment by setting employees up for long-term success.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Makes_Microlearning_Ideal_for_Onboarding\"><\/span><strong>What Makes Microlearning Ideal for Onboarding?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your employees may be spending hours in a training session, only to forget most of it by the next day.
