Recommendations on how to join a new team
A person who comes to a new collective needs not only to get used to official duties, but also to get acquainted with management and colleagues. And on how you will be received
colleagues, your work depends, and you hardly want to work in a tense and conflict situation.
At first, you need to behave neutrally, not to express your opinion on the leadership, colleagues or about the specifics of the work. If you are required to give a clear answer, say that you are still a beginner, and do not know all the subtleties, you need time to get to work and get to know more closely. Try to avoid gossip, by all means, go away from conversation, or you will gain the glory of gossip. Those people who are trying to find out all the details of your life, answer with monosyllabic phrases. Believe me, all that you tell about yourself, learns all your new team, and even in all the details will embellish.
If the team is divided into two camps, you should not take a tie position, because you immediately get yourself a bunch of detractors. You need to behave as little as possible and modestly. Analyze what kind of collective is before you, and what is accepted there.
Pay attention to the clothes. Probably, you already know, if there are free clothes in the office or a strict dress code has been adopted. And here comments are superfluous: if you want to work, you need to dress accordingly. Even if strict business suits are not necessarily worn at the office, this does not mean that you can come to the office with brightly colored nails, lips and a mini. In the first week, you need to wear something classic - a blouse of quiet colors, a pencil skirt, a trouser suit. When you get a little comfortable, you can diversify your wardrobe, but you need to refuse sexual and provocative clothes, then female colleagues will see you as an opponent, and men will see a sexual object.
While you are adapting to a new team, try not to be late for work, come 10 or 15 minutes before the start of the work day, and go home, a little delayed, but not before all.
Be friendly, open and affable. Often and smile to the place. To colleagues, please use the name, and try to remember the names of people who will be introduced to you.
Pay attention to work breaks and how do they happen? If in the smoking room, and you also smoke, then do not stand aside and try to start a conversation. If a cup of tea, then take a sweet with you and offer to treat.
If you are invited to dine, do not give up. It's a chance to get to know the employees closer, and once invited, it means that you were well received. Find out if it is customary in this collective to celebrate the first salary, and organize a holiday.
See, there's nothing complicated here. If the new collective is not inclined to intrigue, not quarrelsome, then your adaptation in the new team will be easy and painless. And what to do if the entire team has turned against you?
