Welcome new team members thoughtfully

When new members join the team (whether as new hires or transfers from another part of the organization), you have an immediate opportunity to signal the ways you honor and promote dignity. You will be forming the basis for relationships that will develop and an understanding of what is important and valued in the team or at the workplace.

While new members can add energy to a team, being new is not always easy, especially if working remotely. Offer the new person support and the benefit of your own experience, and encourage other managers to do the same.

The manager is responsible for the entry and acclimation experience of direct reports and for ensuring that others approach onboarding in a way that centers dignity from the moment the process begins.
