The Business Impact Brief by 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, presents research findings that assessed various impediments to employee time-to-value, the amount of time it takes from onboarding a new employee to the employee achieving an optimal level of productivity. 42% of new employees take six months or longer to add value at work, while 12% take a year or more, according to 451 Research’s Voice of the Enterprise: Workforce Productivity & Collaboration, Employee Lifecycle & HR 2020 survey.
“If employee time to value remains slow at an organization, over time that organization may no longer be able to compete with its peers as they embrace digital evolution and are able to respond more effectively to market changes and more quickly deliver their products and services,” concludes the brief. “The continuation of this trend will also hurt recruitment and retention efforts.”
