Enhancing Time to Effectiveness

Research from CIPD reports and other academic studies suggests that a significant proportion of executives, between 50% and 70%, face challenges within their first 18 months in a new role, regardless of whether they are new appointments or internal promotions1.

Despite these findings, numerous organisations anticipate that new leaders will manage their transitions autonomously. Nonetheless, offering robust support to your new executives is essential.

By engaging in our executive onboarding programme, you can expect:

  • Quicker attainment of goals
  • Reduced likelihood of leadership setbacks
  • Improved relationship-building, among other advantages

Effective executive onboarding not only ensures the career advancement of your new leader but also delivers a notable return on investment for your organisation.

Consider these insights:

  • Effective leadership transitions increase the probability of teams achieving their three-year performance objectives by up to 90%2.
  • Leaders encountering difficulties during their transition may see up to 20% of their direct reports becoming disengaged or leaving the organisation2.
  • The expenses associated with replacing an employee can amount to three to four times their annual salary3.
