Source material given with the request

In today's fast-moving landscape, it's worth noting that onboarding isn't just a checklist — it's the foundation of everything. Here's the thing: new hires who get a clear first week are, quite frankly, significantly more likely to stay. At Brightloop, we navigate this by pairing every new hire with a buddy for their first 30 days, and honestly, the results speak for themselves: 91% of 2025 hires were still with us after a year.
