Get your new Employees Fired up

emps.jpgMaking a decision on which candidate you hire for any position is very important. But once that decision is made, even something just as crucial or more crucial involves the next step.

Whether you know it or not, how you introduce them to the workplace on the first couple of day could make or break their usefulness to you in the long run.

Most employees you get will have probably worked someplace else before and have gone through the boring routine of company policy. They are already basically conditioned for the spiel. If your wise about this and make it a priority in your hiring system, you can surprise them and get them on a quick road to being engaged in the company’s purpose.

How you handle that day or days will, more than anything else, tell the new employee what working there will really be like. You can either involve them from the start in something that fires their enthusiasm and energizes them, or you can offer them something that socializes them into believing that this will be the same old thing only in a different location.

What steps should you take initially that can combat this?

a

Go back, as you always should with anything in your company, to the USP or purpose that you exist in the first place. Hit on that with them. Talk it up in every way that you can. Show a little enthusiasm or have someone with honest enthusiasm for the company and its purpose being the presenter.

a

What you shouldn’t do!

a

Whatever you do, don’t bring out the company’s annual account, health and safety issues, or any type of cumbersome, detailed information.

a 

These types of issues sap energy and enthusiasm quicker than anything else. While you might think it is what is needed to impress them, it will totally take away any type of enthusiasm they have and train them in something that you don’t want them to be from the start: someone that is just taking up space. 

a

Project the company’s purpose onto them and they will be charged up to get involved with something that is bigger then themselves. That’s what your company should be after all.
