A great Start

Well the day I have been looking forward to has come and gone. After months of preparation, meetings, proposals approvals, presentation and the like we have finally started.

Most things have gone off without a hitch, the only hick up was laptops that were delivered a day late.
All the new employees arrived early showing there eagerness to start. Lets hope it remains that way.

The faces on the first day were as can be expected, it was the look of "I don't know what to expect"
However they have quickly found their rhythm and have hit the ground running. By the end of the first days training many a tired face stared back. More from the lag of getting over the holiday season than been overworked.

Day two saw a change in the many mindsets as employees got to grips with the way things are done around IRCA and the way I do things. This meant that there was a lot more interaction, conversing and questioning. As a whole people starting to get to know each other better and for that matter start to know themselves better. They now know what is expected of them and what can be expected in the future.

At the end of day 2 they are busy completing their assessment for the mentoring training. It is going to be interesting to see how much has been learnt and what ideas they have to bring to the table.

Lets hope things stay this way and get even better.
