Welcome new employees

 Nothing is worse for a new employee than feeling ignored or left on one's own to figure out who's who, where to find things, who to ask for help. When we feel ignored and confused our productivity drops.  

Make sure your new employee has a good first day experience!

Establish a welcoming committee that will help the new person start the first day with a friendly greeting, a tour and introduction to the staff, a clean workplace stocked with supplies and a training program that will help the person adapt more easily to the new environment.
