One of the biggest challenges I’ve been helping clients navigate is retention—keeping top performers engaged and committed for the long haul. While retention is an ongoing effort throughout an employee’s career, it starts with onboarding.
The data speaks for itself:
Wow. Onboarding isn’t just about paperwork - it’s a critical driver for retention, engagement, and business success.
How Predictive Index (PI) Helps Elevate Onboarding & Retention
My clients use PI Inspire to create structured, meaningful conversations that help employees feel valued and understood from day one. Here’s how:
🔹 Recognizing Superpowers – Identifying what makes each new hire unique and how their strengths contribute to the team. A great exercise for managers and new hires during onboarding meetings.
🔹 Improving Communication – Understanding work styles and helping teams adapt to communicate effectively. Perfect for peer-to-peer or team discussions.
🔹 Enhancing Team Dynamics – Using data to appreciate the diverse strengths of the team and foster collaboration.
🔹 Anticipating Friction Points – Addressing potential conflicts proactively with insights rather than emotions. PI’s 1:1 Relationship Guides are incredibly effective at predicting challenges and offering solutions.
🔹 Balancing Clarity & Flexibility – Knowing when employees need clear direction versus when they thrive with autonomy. This helps teams provide the right level of support and communication.
🔹 Creating Space for Thought & Expression – Encouraging open dialogue and making sure every team member feels heard. Some employees thrive with pre-planned meeting agendas, while others prefer thinking out loud - understanding these preferences ensures inclusion.
At the end of the day, people want to feel seen, heard, and valued. We invest so much in hiring great talent—let’s make sure we keep them. I’ve seen first-hand the difference that PI has made for my clients and my own team.
If we’re going to spend 8+ hours a day at work, let’s make it a place where people want to be.
