Have clear stepping stones to guide your new hire through the training process. And check in before moving on to the next stepping stone.
Move intentionally but at your new hire’s pace.
Know what you want your new hire to learn in their first week, first month, etc. so you can create clear stepping stones.
Have very clear goals for your new hire.
Knowing priorities lets me make well-informed decisions and function autonomously.
We focus on the health of our company and the health of ourselves. Because without those 2 things we can’t provide quality services.
We have at least weekly meetings, and sometimes half of that is spent catching up on what’s going on with each other’s lives.
