Have you ever lost employees because they did not understand your company culture?
I have listed some ideas below that will help you get your new team members on board and moving in the right direction.
1. Friendly Welcome: Thank them for joining your team or company. Be sure they feel valued from day one!
2. HR Items: Cover HR policies, vacation policies, sick days, hours of work, pay periods, holiday pay, pension, medical benefits, lateness, safety rules, any unique company policies, etc.
3. Meet Their Manager: Have the new employee meet with their manager to get a clear understanding of expectations, goals, training, expected work ethic and teamwork. Make the bottom line objectives of the organization clear to the new employee. Share how other employees have had immediate success and explain / outline opportunities for promotion.
Make sure open communication is established. Make it a co-active process and get their feedback. Discover what drives and motivates them! Let them know you will be there to help coach them to success.
5. Training: Set out a clear training plan that will include hands on activities and background on the overall market as well as the competition. In addition to the formal training, place them with an experienced employee that they can shadow for a period of time.
6. Introduce To The Team: Consider taking your new team member to lunch with the entire team. Do something memorable that welcomes them and makes them feel connected to their new team members.
