New Hires Getting Up to Speed: For Recent Hires of All Levels

“Managers often complain about the new-employee learning curve,” suggesting that they often have to follow-up with new employees to ensure that they are navigating their roles successfully (thebuildnetwork.com). If you’re a new hire on the job and you want to get up to speed, but not sure where to start, here are a list of suggestions to take into consideration that will get you notoriety very quickly by managers and employers (thebuildnetwork.com):

• Make it your business to research the ins-and-outs of the company such as, the company’s mission and goals, its consumers, product and strategy information, and key players, even if this information doesn’t necessarily pertain to your job description.
•   Ask for a tour of the facility prior to your start date.
•  Ask which key people you need to connect with that are relevant to your role and schedule time to meet with those people.
•  Inquire about expectations and culture of the company.
• After a week on the job, request a meeting with your employer or manager to discuss adaptation to your role.

Remember, being proactive on the job, even if the task isn’t relevant to your job description, will quickly get you considered as a candidate for promotion.

XOXO,

Jay
