Companies hire great candidates - or people they judge to be great candidates. But the hiring decision doesn’t always work out.

People leave jobs fairly readily. In the US, nearly half of new hires are gone within 18 months. And when people leave, they do it for reasons of “fit.” In 81% of cases, lack of fit explains why people fail to succeed in a job. Skill is the reason just 11% of the time.

Fit matters. But what is fit, really? Cultural affinity? Employee alignment with the organization’s strategic direction? Stylistic topics like dress code or concierge services or can-I-bring-my-dog-to-work?

In this webcast, we explain the most important components of fit – the factors that matter in a person’s on-the-job performance. We demonstrate how these factors impact performance. What can be done to increase the likelihood of a good fit for new hires as well as current employees? Discover the specific steps to take, including time commitment, budgets and resources, to achieve the objective of high quality, high performing employees more likely to remain in the organization where they fit best.
