Orient your new hire and follow up after orientation to ensure your new employee stays on the right track.
When new hires begin work, they face many challenges and so do their employers. There is a honeymoon period in which they learn about each other. The new hire becomes part of a new corporate culture and requires structured onboarding, mentoring and training to be made productive as quickly as possible. New hires experience socialization when they learn how to succeed in a new corporate culture. At the same time, the organization experiences personalization when the organization and work groups must adapt to a new hire. How can a new hire be kept on track to exceed expectations? This topic will help the persons responsible for inducting new hires to facilitate efforts to keep them on track by offering onboarding, on-the-job training and mentoring so that new hires make positive contributions, continue to exceed expectations, and become productive as quickly as possible.
