How to Make Your New Employees Feel Welcome

The beginning of a new job is the most difficult part. This applies as well to the most experienced employees who tend to get anxious for the first few days at a new job. This is expected, but should not be implicitly accepted. As a manager, you have a responsibility to make every employee feel welcome. How can you make new employees feel at home on the first day?
  • Know Your New Employees Even Before They Start Working

There’s a lot involved in the onboarding process, but it should take a few minutes to get to know new hires. No matter how busy your start is, taking the time to interact at a personal level can help you start a connection. Today’s workers value gratitude more than any generation ever, and they should be aware of their true interests.

  • Have Them Talk To Your Current Employees

Do not ever let new employees quietly slip into the workforce. Before starting please let the rest of your staff know about your arrival and provide personal information if possible. This will bring a connection to the old and the new employees to provide a better partnership that can help with the working environment.

  • Let New Hires Work with Mentors

Hype can’t make new hires feel at home if they feel they’re constantly being lost in their load at work. It can take some time to get used to a productive routine, so make sure your new hire knows who to ask for help. Mentoring relationships can also last beyond the proficiency period, and experienced personnel can make new employees feel more relaxed.

  • Having Then Join in Staff Meeting

New employees, especially temporary workers, often crack at regular meetings. Pay particular attention to inviting new employees to these events so that they feel welcome in their new position.

  • Always Request for New Hires’ Feedback

If employees feel that their voices and opinions are not valued, they quickly settle in. Asking new employees for their opinions is also of great practical value. After all, a fresh mind brings newly-harvested ideas, and you may soon find that your new employee’s ideas are transforming your facility for the better.
