Some improvements that I would like to be put in place would be accountability for new employee mentors and their leadership. Before a candidate has accepted their position, a mentor needs to be identified and serve as a primary point of contact to conduct training for the new employee to learn their position. Leadership should ensure the mentor is covering all required topics/tasks. Leadership should have something prepared for that new employee once they start. They should explain common federal policies and requirements that we deal with on a regular basis. Leadership should also have communication that states what tasks they are responsible for and what is expected of them. More times than not, after the onboarding team shows the new employee basic tasks such as inputting their own labor for timekeeping purposes, how to access their paystubs or how to sign up for their benefits, the new employee is left to figure out how to actually do their job. We need to change this culture. How can we expect our new employees to become fully successful in their position if they aren't trained properly
