Join industry experts sharing strategies, stories, and best practices to boost frontline performance.
Reduce onboarding time and costs, and get your team ready to perform from day one
Hiring and onboarding are some of the biggest challenges facing industries with high turnover and seasonal demand. Traditional onboarding is often slow, inconsistent, and expensive — leaving new hires unprepared and businesses exposed to productivity loss. In this article, we explore how companies across Europe are rethinking their onboarding strategies to save time, cut costs, and boost performance from day one.
Plus, we show how MobieTrain’s mobile learning platform helps teams preboard smarter, train faster, and create a consistent, engaging experience that sticks.
Hiring seasonal staff or scaling your frontline workforce? Then you already know: traditional onboarding is too slow, too expensive, and often too late.
In industries like retail, hospitality, logistics, and healthcare, you can’t afford to spend weeks getting new hires up to speed. You need them ready to deliver — fast.
The onboarding challenge: time, turnover, and urgency
In Europe, the average cost to onboard a new employee is over €3,000, and it can take up to 6 months before they’re fully productive. For frontline industries, where roles are often seasonal or turnover is high, this simply doesn’t work.
Retailers, hospitality groups, logistics companies, and care providers are under pressure to onboard faster — without compromising quality or compliance. But manual processes, inconsistent training, and lack of time on the floor make it hard to get everyone aligned from the start.
Why traditional onboarding falls short
Too often, onboarding is rushed, disconnected, or starts too late. New hires arrive with little context, managers don’t have time to support them, and training materials (if they exist) are outdated or hard to access.
What employees really need is clear, consistent, and engaging information — delivered before they step into the role. They want to understand how things work, what’s expected, and what the brand stands for. That’s what builds confidence, connection, and motivation.
And it has to be mobile. Your team is always on the move, and they learn best when content fits into their flow of work — not the other way around.
