Your business has already invested in every new hire.
Hiring requires time and money before a new employee reaches full productivity. Orientation adds another investment. Clear onboarding helps protect both.
$4,700
SHRM Average Cost per Hire
Nearly $4,700 to hire one employee
The Society for Human Resource Management reports that the average cost per hire is nearly $4,700. This estimate does not include training expenses or lost productivity. It also does not reflect the impact of an unfilled position.
Illustrative First-Year Hiring and Onboarding Investment
$16,476
Three new hires in one year
Example based on a manager earning $24 per hour and employees earning $15 per hour during orientation.
Hiring Costs
3 hires × $4,700 SHRM benchmark
Manager Onboarding Time
8 hours per employee × $24 per hour × 3 hires
Paid Employee Orientation
40 hours × $15 per hour × 3 employees
The question is not whether onboarding requires an investment. It is whether your process is helping protect it.
