First Weeks? Deliverables*

One of the key elements of success for any new employee is to know what he or she must accomplish. Guidance and feedback are essential to a new employee. When new hires know what they must do, they are able to focus on the right things at the right time, thus contribute to the team and add value. Without direction, new employees tend to struggle, and don’t spend their time learning the right information and doing the right type of work. As a result, these new employees tend not to perform well and don’t contribute to the team at the desired level. Be clear on goals and processes to set the expectations for the new hire. The first few weeks is crucial to determine whether an employee will become a part of the team and prosper in their new role or if additional feedback is necessary to guide them successfully into their following weeks. As a manager, it is essential you help your new hires clearly understand how they must spend their time during the first few weeks of employment. Early direction setting helps set the stage for a great start, creating a foundation for long-term success.
