Are you about to join a new organization? Revised Checklist to help you

Starting out in a new organization is a crucial milestone in anyone’s career – and potentially an event fraught with danger.  We are pleased to announce the publication of a revised Checklist  New Joiner: Handling Workplace Relationships to help you shine.  

This checklist is intended for junior managers who have recently joined an organisation and are undertaking their first managerial role. It considers the importance that your relationships with your boss, your peers, and your team play in the process of integration, and outlines steps which can help to ensure success in your new workplace and your new role.

Joining an organisation can be a daunting prospect, and becoming a first-time manager presents many new challenges. As a manager, you will find that your team will look to you for guidance, and your boss will look to you for results. Your colleagues play a significant part in your success as a new manager as you can draw on their knowledge and experience of the organisation to help you to fit in. It is well worth the time, therefore, to work out a strategy developing your relationships with those closest to you. You may find them to be a very welcoming group of people who will happily give you all the support you need to fit in. Alternatively, you may find that this in not the case and this will make the integration process more challenging.

Gaining support, acceptance and trust from your new colleagues will take time. However, by establishing solid working relationships from the outset, you will receive the support, help and information which will prove invaluable to you as you orientate yourself within your new position and validate yourself as a manager.

This checklist provides a list of actions to do and those to avoid, plus references to more detailed publications.
