New employees - saying hello, saying goodbye
Changes in working life rate among some of the most stressful events a person can experience. I've been running my own business for around 25 years, and in that time I've come up with a list of "hello" and "goodbye" tips to help employees with the start and end of their journey with an employer. I believe that these tasks are simple for employees to follow and can minimise stress.
In my experience, every employee has done some of these but never had someone do them all 🙂 Happy to hear if I've missed any.
No boss is perfect, no employee is perfect. In my experience, it's a good idea to have a mentor/manager to be assigned and to have a good system. (On the topic of a good system, SSW built and use www.SugarLearning.com)
Saying hello:
Make it an upbeat entrance, rather than sliding in under the radar. These are the things you can do:
Tip #1: You're going to be meeting a lot of people in rapid succession, and it can be a struggle to remember so many new names. I'd recommend you have a technique to help remember everyone.
For example, as you meet new people, shake their hands while saying their name. Then try to draw yourself a map of the area and then write out everyone's names based on where they're sitting (similar to what I recommend presenters do with a new audience). In the first few days, try to use their names in sentences a lot.

Azure Functions for the Enterprise - presented by Thiago Passos
Most people think Azure Functions are only for a tiny bit of code. They will be surprised!

In this talk, I'll present a new paradigm, a new way of thinking whilst still leveraging your existing knowledge.
