Suggestions for a New Supervisor (pre-evaluation)

  • Make new employees feel welcome! A few suggestions:
    • Introduce the new employee to this Departmental Policies & Procedures web page!! (Set the employee's home page to open to this?)
    • Introduce the new employee to colleagues in your division and suggest effective ways of interacting with colleagues; suggest they buddy with others doing the same or similar work
    • Introduce to the larger staff/administration community, especially those in your division with whom you know they will interact
    • Show them where the copy machine, rest rooms, office supplies, and other critical locations are in your area
    • On their first day, don't let them lunch alone! Either take him/her to lunch, ask someone in your group to, or maybe plan a group lunch
    • Explain lunch options in our area: (, ,Marshall Center Food Court)
    • Give them small manageable tasks at first, and check back often to see if they have any questions
      Be positive in your feedback; remember, it is a lot to take in and the employee is probably not going to be perfect from day one
    • Explain how Child & Family Studies fits into our College of Behavioral and Community Sciences
    • Meet with new employees at least monthly for progress reviews towards probation (for staff)
  • Set Job Expectations (all employees, not just new ones!) prior to time to do evaluations!
    • Go over the individual's Position Description taking care to answer any questions the employee may have
    • Confirm the employees' work schedule
    • Discuss work priorities and how you would like them to manage conflicts in work loads
    • Suggest strategies for dealing with the job demands
    • There are many good web sites and books on managing an employee's performance; we encourage all new managers to take advantage of learning more about their role as a supervisor!
