Past interviews, signed contract: you have just recruited a new employee in your company. All that remains is to welcome it and integrate it as well as possible. Here are some tips for a successful arrival.
Before the employee’s arrival
Before the employee arrives in the company, think about:
- Prepare the material, equipment, software necessary to carry out his work
- Create computer and e-mail identifiers and any possible account
- Inform employees, especially the teams concerned, of the arrival of a new person as well as their role
When the employee arrives
From the employee’s first day of work:
- Show the premises (offices, meeting rooms, toilets, restaurant, etc.)
- Introduce the employee to the collaborators
- Familiarize yourself with the internal regulations, the instructions to follow and the collective agreement
- Explain the corporate culture to promote good working relationships
Afterwards
After the employee’s arrival, (a few days or weeks later):
- Make points concerning the employee’s understanding of the work, his feelings, his needs, his achievements …
- Assign a tutor to help the employee
- Give him information to improve his knowledge of the company
- Pay attention to the integration of the employee (isolation or not?)
