Looking after a new employee on their first few weeks at work can mean the difference between their achiever and failure as employees as well as your success and failure as an employer, manager or supervisor. Suitable orientation determines how fast the new employee can be generative and effective in his or her new job while giving you a right chance to make your new employee an effective part of your team.
There are the hints that will help you deal with your new employees on their first few weeks to help make sure that they get moving on the right track. Have a induction policy for welcoming and preparation new employees. Don’t just allow it to whoever is available. Human resources should cover the HR side of the initiation with a trainer (if you have one) or a senior manager or supervisor covering the more hands on part of the job. Either way the following is a lower limit of what is demanded.
Present your employee a warm welcome. Don’t just direct them to the area they work and let them get on duty with it. There is nothing makes a new employee feel comfortable more than a warm welcome. Give them a brief verbal description about your role as a supervisor. Recognising who’s in charge and what you expect from them will establish them more comfortable with you as the boss. In the next step give your new employee a welcome tour of the all section or, whenever the site isn’t too big, the whole site. Make sure they know how to reach the bathroom, emergency exits, etc. Tell them a brief summary about the company, its history as well as its mission and objectives.
