Today on the Grow Your Influence Podcast Juliet and Kristy-Lee are discussing how leaders and managers can help set young people up for success in their first job.

Do you remember when your secured your first ‘real’ job?You may have completed your studies, sat through interviews and assessments, and finally received an offer for your dream job. Or maybe you weren’t sure where your career was headed, but got a job offer and decided to take the plunge and say yes.

How did you feel? Nervous? Excited? Uncertain? Probably a mix of all the emotions.

Your first job is a big deal, even more so if it’s something you’ve been searching and studying for.

Problem is, it’s been a while since most of us leaders have been in this position, and we may have forgotten just how nerve wracking it can be. We may have also forgotten that as a young person we didn’t know what to do, what to wear, where to go and what to expect when we started.

In this episode, we discuss some practical steps any leader can take to help set their new, young employee up for success with the business.

From having a great pre commencement communication strategy, to engaging them in how to prepare and what to expect, there is so much we can do to support young people joining our teams.

We would love to hear from you and learn about how you help new people who are starting with you in their first job. You can share your experiences and ask questions at https://www.facebook.com/growyourinfluence/
