For a short time, you might consider creating a checklist for each task. As you cover each area of project with your new hire, mark item off your list. Make a point to ask if new employee has any questions regarding tasks, what resources are available within company to complete project, and which departments might offer assistance. Also, track how communication is working and make adjustments when needed.

Train People As A Team

When conducting training, incorporate entire team. Being a new employee creates an immediate damper on one’s self-confidence. When that new hire is singled out, rift between “them” and “me” widens. Everyone can use a review of company resources, expected protocol and policies and procedures. Whenever possible, include all team members in training sessions.

Making Sound and Timely Decisions

Those new to your team will be dependant on you for knowledge, focus and clarity. When managers waiver in their decision making, or when decisions are handed down with proper timing, it sends a message of confusion and lack of organization. Before announcing your decisions on a given matter, take time you need to ensure these decisions are both sound and timely.

With proper time and some guidance from you, your new hire will soon be flourishing in his/her position. You’ll find a productive member of your team that contributes, and helps to build a more valuable workplace for all on team.
