Beeing a leader or a coworker is a constant cooperation / balancing act with others
In my experience one of the more important areas to address is the balance between feeling and logic,
in my vocabulary Heart and Mind
Heart and Mind Management provides Assessment, Coaching, Training, Workshops supporting in management and organisation effectiveness
I have recorded spoken presentations on the following subjects and launched them, and also updated the homepage

Introduction Of New Employees | Heartandmindmanagement | Västra Götalands Län
- To hire someone is a large investment
- The new employee needs to start making a difference as fast as possible
- One of the most important things is that they feel safe
- Appoint a mentor that he/she can ask for advice
- Use a checklist to make sure that what he/she is informed about, is what
he/she needs to start doing a good job
Schedule one-on-one meetings with the new employee and the manager

Feel Safe
Everyone needs to feel safe (physical, emotional or psychological safety)
The introduction program needs to make the new employee safe
Physical
A newly employed person needs to know and adapt to all safety information and instructions.
The new employee in the first line needs to understand and act according to existing rutines
The following things are important to start up with:
1. Compliance Assistance (information and instruction display)
2. Incident Reporting (how it is done)
3. Emergency Preparedness (eg. emergency exits, emergency meeting
place)
Emotional or psychological safety
It is created through building trust in a working group and it involves a combination of actions, behaviours and communication that demonstrate

Here are some ways to create trust:

2. Match your tone to your company’s culture
3. Use positive language
4. Take advantage of your company's orientation program
5. Find more opportunities for introductions
