Brian Crossman: Just hired! Now let’s keep them hired!

In my last column (for those three people that read my stuff in order) we discussed what the new employee can do to get that job and do well at it. Well, at least we hope so. But this is only half the story. It is up to a few other people to make this symbiotic relationship work out. The employers, the HR departments, managers and co-workers all have a hand in making this brand new relationship work. Us old-school guys have an archaic way of thinking that the new hire is there to work hard, do our bidding and make us happy. That may have been kinda true at one time (I said true, not right) but it sure isn’t today. Let’s have a look at this and see if we can figure it out together.
