But hoisting a few beers with co-workers may be enough to keep them around.

Morale Busters,
Boosters: Nearly 80
percent of newly hired employees are ready to leave the job within their first
seven months, a study says. But a trip to a local watering hole may be enough to
keep them around. Recruiting consultancy Office Angels interviewed about 1,400
new recruits to gather the information. The first seven months are viewed as a
trial period in which “the workplace, not the worker” is the subject. If the
boss is lackluster, or if mentoring opportunities don’t emerge, new workers say
they are more likely to move on. Likewise, the first seven months is enough time
for a person to judge whether a new job accommodates their lifestyle. Equally
important is camaraderie among co-workers, with a “trip to the pub with
colleagues” considered an essential bonding exercise for 77 percent of
respondents.
