We are all experts in creating the perfect farewell party for co-workers who are leaving the company but have you ever thought about how you were treated when you joined your company. Let's take a trip down the memory lane. Remember the cold stares? The cold shoulder?
Let's change all that. Let us make our new co-workers feel that they are welcome.
Bring in the welcome wagon! You have to make the new employee feel that they are welcomed to make them feel belonged. Let us reinforce the belief that the company employees are glad they are there and want them to succeed.
As part of the welcoming team, here are my commitments to you our new members:
- I will clearly communicate the mission and goals of the company to the staff.
- I will consistently advocate for quality information.
- I will provide regular ongoing feedback to staff.
- I will facilitate, coach and support staff's effort to succeed.
- I will provide meaningful recognition of staff success.
- I will support diversity in the workplace.
- I will set clear direction and follow through.
- I will exhibit integrity and honesty.
- I will trust the staff to perform professionally.
- I will deal courageously with difficult situations.
And lastly, I will SMILE. Nothing is more welcoming than a sincere smile. Personal and will surely warm the chilled atmosphere.
