Creating a Social Culture
Attain appropriate attitudes,
behaviors, and knowledge
Transitioning college graduates
Creating a culture that will foster socialization as an important transition to new hires into a company’s social culture. That culture will help with the transition while utilizing seasoned team members as they mentor new hires in learning the ropes as they call it and getting a grasp on the knowledge , skills and motivation. While there are a vast amount of newly graduated college students flooding todays workforce, transitioning is a key factor that will dictate a students success rate depending on the company’s mentorship cultural programs (Cawyer, Simonds, & Davis, 2010)..

Weekly Employee progress follow-up
The mentoring process should be in place when selecting the appropriate teams to carry this critical portion while training and making sure new hires maximize their beginning training experiences where they are most vulnerable. Having the right people that exhibit passion, drive and strong leadership skills will facilitate interactions between new hires and established current employees. Your veteran team of associates will be an important part in assisting with teaching your company’s culture and vision. Having a structured plan that will guide and give new hires a roadmap to follow while maximizing the learning experience with a timely follow-up that will reinforce such training.
