How it is calculated

Average days = total days to productivity ÷ number of hires — a plain group average.

"Full productivity" is defined by the business itself — hitting a planned KPI, passing probation with a good review, or a manager's assessment. There's no single standard; what matters is applying the same criterion to every hire in the sample.

The metric helps compare roles and hiring channels: if one position or sourcing channel consistently shows an above-average time to productivity, its onboarding program is worth a closer look.
