5 WAYS TO - Make it Easy for New Hires   You put out a neat job description and now that the new employees have come on board, it's important to facilitate communication between them and the older employees. Varuni Khosla shows you how you can make the process easy. 1 Make a Good First Impression Make the first day for the new employee a memorable one.Lay it out for them; be it their reception, work place, documentation or whatever. It needs to be done professionally. That sets the stage for communication lines to open up. 2 Get them Introduced Company human resource heads and team leads need to line up a well-rounded write up on the new employee to disseminate to the team. They can also add a photograph for the old employees to connect the face to the name, says Colonel Gian Singh Kadian, human resource head, OneShield India. 3 Take them Around The HR department and interviewers are the only points of contact the new employee has had with your company. New employees must be introduced to their managers besides a other managers of the team so they feel confident to navigate the new surroundings. 4 Get the Boss to Drop By When you find the boss finding time to say `hello' to the new employee, others will also find the motivation to so, says Swapnil Kamat, founder and CEO of Work Better Training.This helps bridge conversations between two sets of employees and makes the transition seamless. 5 Involve Older Employees It is also a good idea to put newer and older employees on projects together so they get increased opportunities to interact. That also helps newer employees understand how the organisation works and older employees engage with newer ones. Organisations should also hold events or interaction sessions to encourage older and newer employees to interact with each other.
