Welcoming a New Team Member to the Workplace

I thought I might need this...

I was looking through some papers, and I found this item, which I thought I might need someday.

Pointers for welcoming a new member to the team:

  • Learn about them and accept their background
  • Explain the rules, culture, and values of the organization
  • Allow the new member to participate in group activities
  • Ask the new member for input
  • Speak to the new member in his or her language
  • Teach the new member in pieces
  • Create an 'orientation' binder for the new member
There. Now is your turn to ridicule it.
