For Employees Who Know They Have Been Identified as “High Potential”
- Be committed to this role and this function—don’t give the impression that this is just “another stop along the way” on your career path.
- Quickly build relationships with your manager and peers so that you are ready if and when the next move becomes available and they support you.
- Take advantage of every learning opportunity.
- Do not take relationships for granted.
- Be patient.
The workplace has become a complex mix of people from different generations, cultures, and educational, socioeconomic, and experience backgrounds. We are challenged with integrating these diverse employees into our organizations seamlessly and for the ultimate success and profitability of the organization—no small task! However, by leveraging the onboarding process and doing a few simple things consistently well, HR partners and managers can have great results with highly engaged new employees at the 100-day mark.
