Episode 363: The 90-Day Onboarding System That Actually Keeps Great Employees

In this episode, Molly reveals why most law firms don’t have an employee retention problem—they have an onboarding problem. The first 90 days determine whether a new hire becomes a long-term, high-performing team member or starts quietly disengaging long before they resign. She walks through the exact 90-day onboarding framework her team uses to help boutique law firms create clarity, accountability, and confidence from day one. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to build an onboarding system that improves retention, reduces turnover, strengthens your culture, and creates a team that grows alongside your law firm instead of growing out of it.
