Dan Buckley was interviewed by HR Magazine on the biggest mistakes currently being made during the pre-boarding period.
The time between job offer acceptance and day one is critical — and often underestimated.
Key statistics highlighted:
- 25% of employers are ghosted by new hires
- Nearly 50% of new hires resign within weeks
A thoughtful pre-boarding programme can make all the difference. Pre-boarding isn't a "nice-to-have" — it's a strategic advantage in today's competitive market.
