The Impact
The out-of-the-box experience prototype was very well-received and drove a 25% increase in new joiner engagement, 60% increase in new joiner retention and 18% increase in new joiner productivity. When considering the average annual salary of recipients, along with the cost of turnover, the increase in engagement and the speed to productivity, the return on a mere $200,000 ($200 per gift/1000 new joiners) investment was greater than 30X.
