Following a great resignation, businesses are seeing a reversal when individuals join their previous employers instead of staying with their present employers. This could be referred to as making a U-turn in your career. As a result, the term "Infant Mortality" was created to describe the phenomenon of new hires returning to their old workplace after realising they are not a good fit for the organisation.
The client-facing positions in the technology, start-up, and consumer industries are undergoing such a movement. On the other hand, getting our former, trained employee back is advantageous for the employee's former company.
This trend, according to sources, was seen at the junior or middle senior levels. This is primarily seen in the tech and e-commerce industries, where many workers are unable to connect with their new employers. According to a study, employees who have worked remotely and haven't gone into a real workplace are affected by this problem. One of the reasons the employee made this U-turn may also have to do with not preserving employee perks.
Engaging with employees from the time a candidate accepts an offer until the date of joining can help to prevent such issues. They may be excited to join the new organisation if they are informed about corporate policies, employee benefits, leave policies, bonus policies, etc.
At the time of the interview, we at AideWiser give the candidate a brief overview of the company to help them better understand the culture, employee benefits, etc. This reduces the likelihood of "infant mortality" for your company. Share your needs with us so we can help your company avoid these problems!
