Conflict

As an employer, are you communicating your expectations to your employees? Are you having honest conversations over what you need from them the first week you hire them and throughout their employment with your company? Are you setting boundaries with them about what is acceptable in your workplace and not acceptable? Have you thought enough about what those boundaries are to communicate that to new hires?

Figure It Out

We have been exploring the word “mentoring” but for the purposes of this article, I would like the word “Coaching” instead. To me, mentoring implies one person, probably someone who has been doing the job for many years and is overseeing every aspect of a person’s job. But coaching has another view for me. If you look at a coach or a teacher they go through a process of working with a student or team.
