Better onboarding means their first day can be their first best day.

Start every new member on the right foot.

Bringing someone new onto your team should be exciting, not stressful.
But in senior care, where time and communication gaps are already challenges, onboarding too often becomes a scramble. New staff are handed a stack of papers, a few quick introductions, and told to “shadow” someone, with little structure, clarity, or follow-up.

The result? Confusion. Disconnection. And turnover before they’ve even settled in.

At Niuz, we understand how hard it is to make new staff feel welcome and informed when your team is already stretched thin. That’s why we built tools that help you create a consistent, efficient, and engaging onboarding experience without adding more work.

The Problem With Poor Onboarding

When onboarding is inconsistent or incomplete:

  • New hires feel lost and unsupported in their first few days.
  • Supervisors spend extra time re-explaining policies and procedures.
  • Important details get missed, putting compliance and care quality at risk.
  • New employees leave before their second month on the job.

In fact, studies show that 20% of long-term care employees quit within the first 45 days of being hired. Most don’t leave because they can’t handle the work – they leave becuase no one made them feel connected or prepared.
