  • Review your MY HR Services profile and check if you have any questions regarding HR or Payroll. If needed, submit a SyRa ticket

Discuss with your Manager the business priorities and expectations for setting goals. Review with them the Check-in & Snapshot processes.

Take time to consider the following questions:

  • Have I started interacting with people outside of my entity?
  • Am I maintaining a solid connection with my manager, colleagues and buddy? Are you sharing with them your learning & experiences?
  • How am I feeling about the new role I am responsible for?

By the end of the first month, you are expected to:

  • Schedule a meeting with your manager to talk about your 1 month onboarding experience 
  • Leverage, optimise and continue to build on the network that you were able to connect
