Use the buddy system to support new employees.
Finding and hiring the right people in today's economic climate is proving challenging for employers in all industries. And the process doesn't end when a new hire signs on the dotted line; rather, it's just the beginning. Integrating new staff members and making them feel welcome in your corporate culture is just as, if not more, important than the recruiting and job offer process.
Hiring new people is a major decision that involves a certain amount of risk. It's expensive and isn't an easy task to follow through on. But the new people you're betting on are taking as much risk by changing jobs and joining your company as you are in recruiting and training them.
Often new hires can experience feelings of disappointment about this major life decision if they don't feel welcome in your culture. Those feelings can translate into in lost productivity and lost investment on your recruitment and training dollars.
Find out how applying the buddy system to your recruitment and training efforts can help "newbies" integrate into your organization and reduce the risk of disappointment for both you and the new employee.
