ETIQUETTE TIP: An Intelligent Managers Helps a New Team Member Adjust

Remember to accept new team members fairly with no stereotyped judgements.

Show the new member the ropes on joining the company, assist without being patronising.

Praise good performance and give constructive criticism when appropriate.

Honestly appraise what they contribute to the team.

Show regard for them as a team member; include them in all the company's activities.

If there is an "Old Boys' Network" operating in the office insist the new team member be welcomed into the activities.
