Starting a new job is never easy. Even the most experienced and confident nurses or technicians might feel nervous, awkward, or out of place on their first few days. As a leader, making all of your medical personnel feel welcome is your responsibility. How can you make your new surgical staff feel at home when they are just starting at your medical facility?
Get to Know Your New Staff
Though there’s a lot that goes into the onboarding process at the healthcare facility, you should take a few minutes to get to know your new medical staff. No matter how hectic their start might be, taking the time to interact on a personal level can help the beginnings of a connection to form. Modern professionals value appreciation more than any previous generation, and they are sure to notice this genuine attention.
Talk Them Up to Your Current Staff
Don’t ever let a new surgical team member slip quietly into the workforce. Before they start, make sure you mention their upcoming arrival to the rest of your staff, and try to slip in some personal information if possible. “Next week, we’ve got a great surgical nurse starting,” you could say. “Her name is Bonnie. She is great at her job, and she volunteers at the cat rescue.” When Bonnie arrives for her first day of work and people ask about the cats she rescues, she’ll know that you’re excited to have her on the team.
Have New Staff Team Up With a Mentor
Make sure that your staff know who they can turn to for help. A mentoring relationship can last beyond the orientation period, and your new nursing staff will feel more relaxed if they have someone who is knowledgeable about logistics of your medical facility.
Include Them in Staff Meetings
To make sure they feel welcome in their new position, take special care to include new surgical staff in your staff meetings.
Ask for Their Feedback
If your staff feels that you value their opinions and experience, they will quickly start to settle in. Of course, asking them for their input has huge practical value as well. After all, fresh minds bring fresh ideas, and you may soon find that your new staff member’s ideas are changing your facility for the better.
