How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by having an open conversation with new employees or partners about expectations. It’s important they understand how their previous experiences might differ from what is needed in their new role or relationship. Make a list of specific behaviors or habits that are important for success in your current environment.
Next, create a learning plan together. Sit down with them and discuss areas where they may need to adjust. Identify resources or training that can help. For instance, if punctuality and meeting project deadlines are essential, you might set up a shared calendar or regular check-ins to keep things on track.
Encouragement and regular feedback are key. Make sure to recognize their efforts to adapt and improve. This positivity can be really motivating. If you see something that needs to be corrected, give constructive feedback right away. Be clear but kind, so they know exactly what to work on.
Remember to be patient. Adjusting takes time. Set realistic goals for the adjustment period. Celebrate small wins along the way. This helps build confidence and shows that progress is being made.
Lastly, make sure you're also open to learning. Listen to the employee or partner’s ideas and feedback. They might have skills or insights from their previous experiences that could be beneficial. This two-way learning can create a stronger team or partnership.
By working closely with them, you'll help speed up their learning and make sure they’re well-integrated into their new environment.
