A Message from Tyler
Hello friends and colleagues,
Have you ever experienced this? You hire an exceptional new team member, give them a tour of the facility and golf course on their first day, show them to their workspace, and then leave them alone to start their work.
The next day the individual doesn't show up for scheduled work - gone.
If you’ve ever been the new employee in this situation, you know how it feels to be left to navigate everything on your own: awkward, stressful, and lonely.
Effective onboarding is like tending to a new plant with consistent care, providing the necessary support and nurturing over time. It's not just a one-day task; it’s a continuous process that helps the plant grow into a strong, flourishing tree.
