Integrating your new employee into the organization
1986
Segall, L.J.
"Newness" behaviors typically demonstrated by employees new to an organization and strategies for handling them to speed up the individual's acceptance as a team member are outlined. Typical "newness" behaviors include 1) reference to the previous employer as "we" and the new employer as "you," 2) frequent referrals to experiences with the previous employer, 3) comparisons of facilities, policies, etc. between previous and present employers, and 4) an overeagerness to take on projects before capabilities have been accepted. Guidelines to help the individual be accepted more readily within the organization include 1) informing the employee about "newness" behaviors that may slow colleagues' acceptance; 2) clearly defining the new employee's role and job responsibilities to coworkers; 3) defining authority levels and "check-in" procedures; 4) holding regular meetings frequently; 5) assisting the employee in learning about the organization's politics, protocol, and procedures; 6) including the employee in meetings that help establish his/her role and credibility among coworkers, and 7) creating opportunities for the employee to demonstrate his/her area of expertise.(aje)
