Starting at a new company can feel overwhelming. Mid-career job changes are common, but your first day might not include any familiar faces, which can lead to feelings of isolation and uncertainty about who to turn to for help. That sense of isolation is one of the leading causes of early resignations, which can be a negative experience for both the employee and the company. At ZenGroup, we believe that supporting new employees from day one is essential to creating a positive and lasting workplace experience.
At ZenGroup, we’ve implemented a mentor system to help new employees adjust to their work environment and get to know their team members. All new entry-level employees receive three months of mentorship from a mentor, who is an employee from a different department. Mentors are non-managerial staff members selected by upper management and are trusted individuals who can offer guidance not only about work but also about personal matters. One-on-one meetings are held regularly to address any concerns or challenges the new employees may be facing. Another benefit of this system is that the company covers lunch costs during these meetings, creating an opportunity to build a comfortable and open relationship.
Meeting Schedule
(Meetings last 15–30 minutes in a private meeting room.)
Lunch Schedule
(Lunch can be taken in the office break room using a food delivery service or at a nearby restaurant.)
