Employees who understand their role and how to do that role are valuable to your business.
It is well-known that confidence comes with experience. Like driving a car. We all start out nervous and think ‘how am I going to remember all of these things?’ mirrors, brakes, gears, indicators, speed and much more. But before you know it, you are driving confidently and you don’t even have to think about how you are managing all of these things at once.
This is the same with any role. Make the role clear and guide team members to be able to build that confidence and you will have a productive member of the team before you know it. This will boost their morale and they will enjoy the job.
It is far too easy to let a new member of the team ‘just get on with it’ or use the ‘sink or swim’ method and for some employees this works. But in my experience, most that say they like to be just left to it and ‘sink or swim’ often fail or take longer to pick up the role and everything it involves.
The time spent at the beginning is better than the time spent to correct at the end.
