46% of Newly Hired Employees will Fail within 18 Months

According to a groundbreaking three-year study of over 5,000 managers who hired over 20,000 employees, “46% of newly hired employees will fail within 18 months.”

Interestingly, the number one reason employees failed was their inability to accept and implement feedback from their boss and colleagues. Stage 2 and 3 are not good at accepting feedback. Stage 4 seeks feedback.

What can you do?

Here is the study and some great interview questions and other things you can do to prevent this from happening in the future.
