10 Questions to ask your new employees…

There’s a great post on Library Garden that lists 10 questions that managers should ask new hires.  I love the spirit of this post, because it suggests that managers should be open to the fresh perspective of a new employee, and should take his/her observations as an opportunity for improvement.  I imagine that if my employer asked me these questions, I’d also immediately feel as if my opinions were important to the organization.  What a great way to feel welcomed!

Just something for all of us students/young professionals to mull over…

    I think this is a really good idea. I’m curious how many people would respond candidly during the first few weeks on the job? Maybe these could be written down and reviewed later? I don’t know–what do you guys think?

    hmmm…no candid responses here? :)

    This slide show reinforced the fact that new hires could tell you a lot about the effectiveness of your library’s signage: Do Not Look at These Photographs / Today’s Pictures: Restrictions May Apply
