As a new employee one may easily question your decision to move to a new organisation, especially if the first couple of days or weeks are experienced negatively. Planning and executing a well-structured onboarding and orientation programme could make a new employee feel valued which leads to integration and feeling part of the team. Develop four reflection questions.

When posing a question, please think of the following:

Does my question ask me to describe my own experience as a new employee?

Does my question ask me to be critical of what my organisation is doing in onboarding new employees?

Does my question lead me to analyse whether I would change anything as a manager when onboarding a new employee?
