Joining a new company in a new role can be intimidating. The leaders among us bear responsibility for getting employees hired and on-boarded as quickly as possible, and ensuring they have everything needed to succeed. But, often, we don’t address how overwhelmed new hires can feel in those early days.
Employee discouragement and fear of failure in this critical time can lead to them leaving your organization. Luckily, there is a solution: new hire mentors. By providing an experienced employee as a mentor, you can ensure new hires get the ongoing instruction and encouragement they need long after the onboarding process ends.
