Workplace Stress

Stress for New Comers



New hires have the tendency to be a bit nervous during their first days at a company as they learn more about the job and get acclimated to the work environment. However, there are several things that an organization can do to ensure a smooth, productive transition.



A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Guelph and the University of Toronto suggests that structured orientation training and mentor programs may help new employees get comfortable. Authors said that strong "on-boarding" strategies helped rookies become more engaged in their new positions. These may include detailed training sessions and exercises that help them establish a rapport with co-workers.
