Five Tips to Make Your New Hire Love You and Their New Workplace - Your Career IntelFinding and hiring the perfect employee is never an easy task. It takes time, effort, and some amount of irresponsible snacking. But as excited as you are with a great new hire, you can bet they are also thrilled to move to their new workplace. And as they join their new team, keep this checklist for welcoming new employees in mind so your new hire can tee off and is not awkwardly stuck at the driving range.1. Have their Desk and Computer Logins Set Up If you are a new recruit, there is no greater buzzkill than a computer that isnt set up or a login that doesnt work. As a manager, you have to make sure the new hires desk is set up, computers are functioning and logins provide access, so that your new employee doesnt feel like you are unprepared to have them as part of your team.2. First Days Are Tough, Make them Easy First days are always rough for new hires that find themselves in a new place, with n ew faces, and new snacks Ease their transition to your workplace by personalizing their first day and week to reaffirm they made the right decision to pick you. Make them feel special by taking them out to grab lunch or after-work drinks. Ensure that the rest of the team is also available to meet the new hire and get to know him/her. No one likes to feel left out, so make sure your new hire is enveloped in the warm glow of a welcoming team.3. Who Am I? What Am I doing Here? People assume their new hires know everything about the company because they researched your website for the job interview. However, the company website does not truly reveal who you are and what your main focus and vision is. Spend a few days acclimating new employees and giving them an in-depth look at your companys mission, vision, brand, philosophies and culture.4. Tell Them What Their First Week (and beyond) Will Look Like Brief your newest team member on what they should expect in their first week. Schedule personal one on one meetings with their manager to discuss what is expected of them. Without this they do not have a path to embark on. And dont just stop there you can help your new hires by giving them a roadmap for their first 30, 90 and 180 days of work, so they have clear direction in which way to proceed. It is much easier to get started when they have some idea of what they are expected to do5. Paperwork is Necessary (in small doses, spread out over a week) HR dont stuff a bunch of paperwork down a new hires throat on their very first day. This can be unwelcoming and is impersonal. Paperwork, at the best of times, can be confusing and when you are a new hire, it could be overwhelming. So, provide the new employee plenty of time and direction to finish the requisite paperwork. Also, make sure you are available to answer all of their questions quickly and appropriately. Moreover, spreading out any paperwork over their first week helps prevent new team members from being overw helmed.While these tips offer some ideas on how to welcome a new employee, there is nothing easier to make them feel at home (or in this case, office) than a big friendly smile and a warm greetingWhat tips do you have to make a new employee feel welcome in the workplace?

Carrie Underwood is Being Bullied By Moms For The Most Ridiculous Reason

Carrie Underwood is Being Bullied By Moms For The Most Ridiculous Reason We all know that women are judged much more harshly than men. Were alway too loud or too quiet, too reserved or too domineering, too nice or too cold. But really, motherbeis are judged even more harshly than any of us. Theres this idea floating around that there is one perfect type of mother. But the funny thing is, shes just an idea. She doesnt actually exist, yet women are consistently comparing themselves and each other to her. This breeds mom shaming, the internets favorite way to rob women of their right to be individuals who make individual choices.The latest celebrity to fall victim to mom shaming? Carrie Underwood. And the country star is probably the best example ever of how ridiculous mom shaming is.Moms on Instagram decided to bully Carrie for... wearing make-up to her sons little league soccer game.After she posted a picture celebrating her son Isaiah scoring two goals, hateful messages came stream ing in.Well that is a crap hr of makeup for a soccer game, one commenter wrote, according to Yahoo. Show up like most soccer moms, messy hair dont care, no makeup and a coffee mug in hand, another added.Source InstagramOthers had the audacity to theorize that the star got plastic surgery.I love Carrie. But it looks like shes starting the injections and face changing tweaks way too soon. Shes looking a little plastic these days, wrote one of the many commenters suggesting Underwood got lip injections, microbladed her eyebrows, or fixed her nose.Source InstagramBut the most ridiculous accusation was that she somehow doesnt care about her son because she posted a selfie.According to Yahoo, some commenters said that her posting a photo of herself dolled up rather than posting a photo of her son is proof she is vain or doesnt care about him.Of course, this boils down to the belief that the ideal mother cares only about her kids, all day and every day. She makes no time for her own appear ance, her own autonomy, or her own life.And to be quite honest, thats internalized misogyny speaking. Women are allowed to make personal choices like whether or not to curl their hair, and they should be able to do that without criticism.Because think about it if we criticize a mother this badly for drawing on her eyebrows, how horribly are we criticizing mothers for bigger individual choices that affect her ability to operate in our society, like continuing to work after having kids?Working moms already know the answer to that question. The criticism is pretty bad. And its affecting womens parity in the workplace. In order to alleviate this pressure, we need to stop mom shaming at every level whether its criticism of the baby stroller you use or the nanny you choose.Thankfully, supportive moms chimed in to support the country star.They reminded her that shes allowed to do whatever she wants.I see moms that dress like this at soccer games, wrote one commenter. You look great, and y oure being the best mom you can be. Literally the most respected woman country artist there is and this is how other moms act? Post all the selfies you want, we know you love your kidsNow thats the kind of women supporting women we all want to see.
