To the casual observer, recruiting, hiring, and onboarding job candidates may seem like simple processes. You browse LinkedIn and Indeed, conduct a couple interviews, send out an offer letter, get the new employee’s workstation up and running, have them sign some paperwork, and then run through some online training. If only it were so easy — and inexpensive.
An inconvenient truth of the HR world is that it is an incredible investment of not only time but also money to find, onboard and train a new employee — thus magnifying the need to ensure said employee is a long-term hire. And there’s no better way to bolster retention rates than to provide robust and unbeatably affordable health benefits, the investment in which, if executed prudently, can be far less expensive than the aforementioned recruiting lifecycle costs.
