When You Start a New Job Don’t Do This

• 25% of all new hires don’t last a year
• 46% of all new hires don’t last 18 months
• 53% of all new managers and executives don’t last a year

Why? According to the authors of Sink or Swim and the website Hit the Ground Running:

• A large percentage of new employee are not told what they were hired to do or what their goals are.
• Usually employees are not told where to find the information they need, so they waste time ‘reinventing the wheel’.
• These new employees usually talk more than they listen.
• These employees often don’t deliver on the commitments they make.
• Employees often don’t play to their strengths.
