Talk with Team Members Before New Hires Arrive

Experts say that the first 90 days determine how long a new person will stay with an organization. Discuss the new worker’s role with the team. Explore the ways in which some team members’ roles may change when the new person arrives, and make sure people understand that they shouldn’t simply dump their grunt work on the new hire. Doing this ahead of time will minimize ruffled feathers and pave the way for the new person’s success.
