There’s a lot of informational ground to cover when a new employee joins your team. Of course, you have the basics – a tour of the office, meeting the team, setting up their new laptop, and an overview of your insurance plans and benefits. 

But what about your day-to-day operations?

In this episode of Food for Thought, Lead Project Manager Rachel Verhaaren shares her 4 tips for covering the nitty-gritty and making sure your new hires feel both welcomed and well-informed.

The highlights:

Your new employee has their list of to-dos, but do they know:

• How to interact with other people in your organization
• All the products/services your company offers
• How to use tools that may not be integral to their day-to-day role

Set your new employee up for long-term success by teaching them the ins and outs of these four things during your operations onboarding:

1. Teams
2. Tasking
3. Project Methodologies
4. Tools & Tips

In each episode of Food for Thought, we give one of our Mindgrub experts five minutes or less to make us an expert on an important part of their job. In exchange, they’re rewarded with their favorite snack (it’s quite literally “food” for “thought”). Check out all the episodes here.
