As we all know that in every organization, each year they hire many new employees. Most companies have a new employee checklist and put them through a new employee induction of some sort. I have seen a quarter of the new hires leaving their job within one year of joining the organization. So friends, Why do new employees fail?

taking the new employee for granted

idea posted by kshantaram GM-hrd/hr professor
once the employee joins we believe he is at our command and now it is up to us how we handle him - in terms of job design, reporting relationships, facilities provided, pace of work, hours of work, etc etc. employees want to be well inducted, well informed, well treated with dignity, want their ideas and suggestions appreciated and not turned down, would not appreciate organisational politics, we need to soon understand their areas of discomfort and address the same constructively and promptly rather than blame the employee for feeling inadequate - if the environment is not felt responsive and genuine one could bottle up the discomfort and leave surprisingly the moment he finds another job.

I agree. Employee leaving within an year, does not indicate failure of the employee, it also indicates failure of the organization to utilize best the new recruit. When they don't feel comfortable in the new job, they leave, when they get the first opportunity.

Flaws in the selection process

idea posted by Rajender Sharma Senior Consultant, Softwell

Friends, the major cause for the failure is on account of the flaws in the selection process. Inspite of having qualms the recruitment committee takes up the people who come up for the interview. This could be because of the lack of the interest in the task done or on account on the present to select a fixed percentage of people present for the interview. Urgent requirement which could be as a result of improper  planning also can end up in a wrong recruitment. The skill of the recruitment must match the requirements if the failure is to be prevented. This is the case in many companies today.

Combination of Recruitment process flaws & indusction training

idea posted by Ameet Ranjan Regional HR - North India, Maclellan Integrated Services India Pvt Ltd

When we hire any candidate, we should not only check the education, knowledge or experience but we need to check several major key like should he/she adopt the corporate culture, personality. After hiring, we should do competency check, find out the flaws & by induction training we should imporove those flaws & need to have check point till next six month, improvement / lacking. After six month, we need to prepare the chart of SQC (Squential check point) of that employee. Mostly new entrants fails due to lack of proper monitoring & guidence. HR team should a major role in this concern.

Lack of proper understanding

idea posted by Nikhil Jain Senior Consultant, Hewitt Associates

I agree with you and I think the another reason for the failure is when the company, its management and the work fail to measure up to the expectations of the individual. The internal processes and the rules must be imparted to the new employee. The general code of conduct expected from him must be made crystal clear if unacceptable behavior is to be avoided. In certain cases the employee is made to switch from the role offered to him within a short span of joining the organization, leading to the inability to perform well. You should first understand the employee and make him understand what he is expected to contribute to the organization. This will reduce the number of new employees leaving the company.
