A key part of getting new hires ready is helping them get to know their co-workers. Here’s one way to speed up the process:
Don’t send them out empty handed.
Instead of walking new hires through the workplace for a long series of introductions and handshakes, pick a day to send the newbies around with something employees will appreciate — for example, have them hand out coffee and donuts.
It’ll make more of an impact on employees, so they’ll be more likely to remember the new folks next time they pass in the hallway.
And it will ease some tension for the new hires, since they’ll be walking around doing something fun.
