What if your biggest retention risk isnโt year three, but week three?
Up to 20% of employee turnover occurs within the first 45 days, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics โ and HBR has highlighted weak onboarding as a key driver of early churn.
When onboarding is treated as a one-time orientation, new hires never get the time, structure, or reinforcement they need to turn information into capability. They leave before they ever reach full productivity.
Lerero enables organisations to treat onboarding as a continuous learning journey โ with reinforcement, tracking, and certification โ reducing early churn and accelerating time-to-performance.
