Colleagues, every new employee goes through five distinct stages during their onboarding process. These stages are enthusiasm, doubt, realization, updating their resume, and ultimately, resignation.
Initially, new hires are filled with enthusiasm as they start their journey. However, as they settle in, doubts may creep in regarding their fit within the company or the role itself.
Following this, they often reach a point of realization about the job's demands and their own capabilities. This can lead to a critical moment where they consider updating their resume, reflecting on their future career path.
Finally, if the experience does not align with their expectations or aspirations, they may choose to resign. Understanding these stages can help employers better support their new hires.
