When CEOs bring in new employees, it is often in big groups. The bigger the group, the more likely a new hire may get lost in the shuffle and feel hesitant to contribute. New employees need to get started off on the right foot, and CEOs need to be sure their large corporation has a solid onboarding strategy. Large corporations must establish a strong set of policies that can be seen by all members of the workplace. On their first day, recent hires should get to know how the business works, while also getting an understanding for how the staff operates. Below is a list of ways CEOs can make sure their new hires are able to get acclimated to the company right away.

Team veterans with rookies
What better way to get employees off on the right foot than by assigning some of the most experienced staff to work with them. For example, if a CEO recently hired someone new in the accounting department, a tenured employee would be the perfect person to teach him or her how to use the budgeting software, as well as the processes the company uses for bookkeeping. Not only can veterans help rookies get acclimated to the business, but more experienced employees can also build a mentorship relationship with those just starting of at the company. These relationships can benefit new staff down the road, while they can also continue to consult their mentor for advice on guidance when they have any questions.

Set up a team lunch
Many CEOs hire new staff and assign them to teams before they even meet the people they will be working with. This is why it is important to schedule a lunch or group meeting with new hires and the employees in the same departments and teams so they can get to know each other and speed up the "getting acquainted" process. Building relationships with team members will make it easier for recent hires to feel as though they are accepted in the office, which can lead to higher levels of productivity.

"It's never too early to start teambuilding," executive recruiter Steven Raz told Entrepreneur Magazine. "The sooner these team members are comfortable with each other, the better."

Start building goals
When new people are brought into the office, don't let them sit around and try to find things to do. Some time during the first week, CEOs should set out some goals for new hires to get a quick and immediate look as to what the fresh faces bring to the table. The goals should be attainable, to allow new hires to build confidence in their positions, and should align with some of the tasks they will be expected to complete. Helping new staff feel a sense of accomplishment will ensure they will be able to take their job and run with it.
