Lost During the Honeymoon: Why New Employees Are Checking Out Early with Tirzah Thornburg

In this episode, we’re looking into why the honeymoon phase for new employees is fading so fast and how it’s costing organizations more than they realize. With half of new hires feeling only somewhat engaged within their first six months, early disengagement is becoming a major threat to retention, morale, and performance. Joining Beth to help break it all down is Tirzah Thornburg, Senior Talent Analyst at The Center for Sales Strategy. Tirzah brings so many awesome points to the table, like: - How a one-size-fits-all onboarding experience can lead to fresh hires checking out early - Why too many managers expect their more experienced new hires to “hit the ground running,” when, in fact, they still need a firm onboarding plan. - And, finally, why it’s up to you to ensure that every new member of your team goes home on their first day saying, “I made the right choice.” ENGAGE 2025: The Company Culture Report: https://uyc.thecenterforsalesstrategy.com/company-culture-report Tirzah Thornburg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tirzah-bruce-thornburg-35a99150/ Beth Sunshine: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethsunshine/ Culture Over Coffee: https://uyc.thecenterforsalesstrategy.com/culture-over-coffee-podcast Up Your Culture: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethsunshine/
