Ensuring a Successful Start

You want the transition for your new employee to be a smooth one. Stay in touch with your HR consultant and communicate regularly with the selectee after the tentative offer has been made so he or she knows what is happening in the process.  Your HR servicing office will take care of paperwork and orientation while you work with your administrative staff to make sure the appropriate workspace requirements and any reasonable accommodations are in place.  From day one, you have the opportunity to make your new employee feel welcome as a valued member of your staff.  Consult the New Employee Transition Guide 41KB for tips and a checklist that can help you provide your new employee a successful start with your organization.
