	A Word from the MD's Desk




The new recruit's initial introduction into your organisation can set the tone for the rest of their career with you and can influence their effectiveness longevity and commitment. Onboarding is about making that personal connection with new employees and like comedy is about bridging the gap between the unknown and the familiar. The sooner the crowd (new hires) likes, relates and trusts you (the employer) the sooner everyone can relax and have a good time. It is important to get your talent to like, relate and trust their new environment and the people around them, for a smoother transition into their new position. The only way to fast track them is to become efficient producers within your company. An article from the HR Daily http://tiny.cc/2vm5m makes an interesting read on engaging, relating and being honest with your new hires.
