Day 1 Disaster Stories: 7 Biggest Mistakes You Make When Welcoming a New Team Member

Short staffed? Join the club. In today's tight job market, finding quality team members for your leasing office or maintenance team is nearly an impossible task. Once you finally land that new-hire, don't blow it by botching their first day! Consider these less-than-ideal first impressions many team members face on the first day:

  • No one is expecting the new associate. Surprise!
  • The whole day is spent on filling out forms from HR.
  • The boss is too busy to meet, so dispatches someone who doesn't know anything to do it instead.
  • The new hire has no phone number, no email account, no access to property management software, no keys, and certainly no business cards.

Is it any wonder that nearly 25% of employee turnover happens within the first 45 days on the job? In this session, we'll dive into the 7 cringe-worthy mistakes managers make that cause new hires to make a fast break for the exit. More importantly, we'll identify what you should do differently to help your new team member feel valued, welcome, and eager to contribute. You'll walk away with practical, actionable solutions to improve your onboarding experience, and slow down the revolving door that is high employee turnover.
