👥HR & People Ops

Test people programs the way product teams test features.

Worked Example

90-day vs. 30-day onboarding program across two hire cohorts

A company assigns new hires to either a 30-day onboarding program (current standard) or a new 90-day extended program with structured check-ins and mentorship. 48 hires per group. One-year retention and 6-month performance rating used as outcomes.

Results: 1-year retention rate (%)

30-day onboarding (control)

mean: 68.4%

95% CI: 55.2–80.2

90-day extended program

mean: 85.1%

95% CI: 73.6–93.6

P(better) = 93%

The 90-day program improves 1-year retention by +16.7 percentage points (d = +0.61, medium-large effect) at 93% posterior probability. Performance ratings also improved on average. Recommendation: extend standard onboarding to 90 days, with structured 30/60/90-day check-ins.
