Increase 30 Day Retention
Employee turnover frequently happens within the first 30 days because new hires don’t feel welcomed, informed, and supported. It’s rarely a deliberate choice to leave them on their own—teams often wear multiple hats, making it hard to consistently execute every onboarding task they’d like to. Regular communication over this critical first month can be the difference between employees settling in or deciding to leave.
How you might currently be doing this
- A formal review at the end of the first month
- Occasional check-ins over the first week or two
- Having a list of things to do with new hires but not finding the time to implement them fully, leading to missed touchpoints
How to do this more effectively
Team Engine automates the entire onboarding communication plan, so busy HR teams and managers don’t have to remember every detail. By scheduling messages or surveys to send automatically, you ensure new hires receive the attention and information they need—without adding extra work to an already full plate.
Why Use Team Engine Instead
Automation: Once the communication workflow is set up in Team Engine, onboarding messages will start sending automatically over time for each new hire.
Consistency: You’ll never fall behind or forget to send a time-sensitive message again.
Accessibility: Because employees receive messages on their cell phone via text (instead of email or an app) you can rest assured that every employee will get every message every time.
How you can use Team Engine to do this
With Team Engine, you can create a customized communication workflow that automatically checks in with new hires over the course of their first 30, 60 or 90 days on things like:
- How their first paycheck will arrive and how to access pay stubs
- Send a text message survey to periodically ask for feedback on their experience
- How to log in to the company intranet
- When they’re eligible for benefits and how to get them
- Asking for employee referrals
You can even use Team Engine to automatically send reminders to managers to check in with their new hires and things to discuss (e.g. company values, job expectations, etc.).
