Tell them exactly what to expect so they can show up looking their best and feeling their best.   Any time you hire someone you want to ensure they become productive team members in no time. Creating an organized, detailed plan to welcome new employees is key. One way to do that is to create an agenda for the first week of employment. It also helps to give them a peer mentor to help with the transition. Make sure each employee, new and your veterans, know they are valued and appreciated.
