ADP’s 8 Onboarding Best Practices to Boost New Hire Engagement and Retention outlines how thoughtful onboarding drives engagement, confidence, and long-term success. According to ADP Research, employees with formal onboarding are 8.5x more likely to view HR as value-promoting. The guide emphasizes continuous engagement—from pre-start communication and personalized welcomes to structured first days and assigned buddies.
