It’s hard to believe it’s the last day of 2024! Whether you've been following monday insights for a long time or are new here, I figured it's time to introduce (or reintroduce myself!) So hi, my name is Arielle Gordis I’ve been managing the monday.com weekly/monday insights for three years now. As we close out this intense year, I’ve been reflecting on the newsletter’s evolution and decided to share some lessons from 2024. Back in 2021, just weeks after I joined monday.com, I met with one of our CEOs, Roy Mann, to bring his vision for a thought leadership newsletter to life. His goal? Deliver readers real value each week with business and leadership insights in today’s evolving workplace. Fast forward to 2024, and the newsletter has grown far beyond expectation, with 2 million active readers, a 55% unique open rate, and extensions like this organic LinkedIn page, popular social channels, and even a coffee table book. So, as we kick off a new year, here’s my advice for empowering your team to elevate their initiatives in 2025:

An inspiring onboarding experience doesn’t just get new hires up to speed; it sets them up for immediate success. Turns out that 69% of employees will stay at a company for at least three years after a good onboarding experience and they’ll be 50% more productive, according to SHRM. Unfortunately, only 12% of employees believe their organizations excel at onboarding, per Gallup, and 80% have considered leaving their job after a poor onboarding experience, according to a recent survey by PayChex. When building the onboarding process on your team, it’s important to recognize that employees don’t just want to understand the business – they want to make an impact. So, how can you set your new employees up for success and harness their motivation? Watch this short clip for some tips and share your ideas in the comments below!

Happy Monday!👀

Management has long been seen as the natural progression for every top employee’s career path. But not all high-performers are meant to be managers. While your employee could be stellar at performing their job, they may not be great at leading others in the same area. And some with managerial potential simply might not want to choose that direction for their careers. In fact, 36% of tech workers aren’t interested in taking on a managerial position, according to a survey by CoderPad, and 72% of GenZ’ers prefer to grow as Independent Contributors (ICs), according to recruitment firm Robert Walters. So, as a leader, how can you retain the skills and expertise of top performers who aren’t interested in or right for a managerial path? And how can you create a meaningful growth path for them?
