Another basic that way too many organizations miss way too many times is informing key stakeholders about the start of a new employee. This takes many different forms ranging from no announcement going out at all, to announcements going to the wrong people, to announcements going out buried in emails that don’t get read.
Issue
However it happens, the issue is all those awkward moments when people finally realize they are supposed to work with someone they didn’t even know was showing up.
Suggestion
Our suggestion is to manage the announcement cascade in detail to make sure no key stakeholder is missed. (So simple. So powerful when done right. So painful when done wrong or not at all.)
