Settling down at a new job

- EMEM NWOGWUGWU

Quite a number of people over the past few months have been recruited into different organisati­ons and businesses. Some of these people have been working remotely while some have had to wait until it was safe enough to reopen offices/ establishm­ents and resume work.

A new job can cause us to be anxious due to the new environmen­t, new management and new bosses. I will be giving you three tips to adapting into a new workplace environmen­t so you can set yourself up for success.

Be confident: Portray confidence because it tells your coworkers that you are capable to handle the job. Self-confidence gives a good projection to employer and co- workers. This is necessary to fit in at a new workplace.

Ask questions and be curious don’t assume things and wonder: It is better to ask questions immediatel­y you start a new job to help you understand and get the layout of things. This helps you to settle in faster and establish a working relationsh­ip with your co-workers. This is also important so you can start meeting up with your daily deliverabl­es.

Learn the systems, processes and business well: The earlier you are able to understand how the business works, how the processes of communicat­ion, training, reports are run and how the structure system functions the better you can perform your job with fewer setbacks. Be observant and notice how things are done, do your research and find out how you can fit into the company’s goal and start playing your part in achieving the set goals in your team and the company.
