The application process is over, training for the job is completed and new employees quit after 100 days. Why is that?

First impressions are often crucial - for example, how you are received by your superiors at the interview. It can also be important what the working environment looks like when you are shown around for the first time.

Onboarding is crucial for almost half of those surveyed
Softgarden
surveyed around 2,160 people for the study between February and April 2022. Almost half (49 percent) said that onboarding plays a “role in the decision for or against an employer”. If it is not clear to applicants how they should be integrated into the company, according to the survey, 15.6 percent have already decided against the corresponding job.

Job advertisement and job don't match? This can be critical
Especially in the first few weeks on the job, new employees measure their activities against the information provided in the job advertisement. The majority (89.2 percent) think it is important that the description fits the conditions in the first few weeks. But the reality looks different, because for only 53 percent the ad matches the activities.
