In today’s competitive hiring market, top talent won’t hesitate to look elsewhere if they don’t feel welcome or engaged at a new job. One way to ensure new employees stay with your team for the long haul is by making each employee feel welcome from the moment they sign a job offer. Consider the following tips to get started.
Another way keep new employees excited about starting on your team is to send these employees a personal note. At my company, which has close to 200 employees, each new employee now receives an email from his or her direct manager, as well as the leadership team member on his or her team. I also reach out to new employees once they sign, with a congratulatory email that includes my contact information in case they have any questions before they get started. These little steps can help boost excitement among new employees and help them start on a motivated, productive foot.
