4 things your new starters should be doing

4. Don’t reject company culture

Whilst this may seem obvious for any new starter, it may be hard to shake off old habits. DeWall says to: “Be mindful of dress code, times to be in and out of work and the internet and music policies.”

Furthermore if you don’t see others multitasking during meetings, refrain from doing so yourself and ask your boss what the norms are – and why.

Kauflin adds: “Stay true to your personality and principles. If you realise there are deep-seated parts of the culture that conflict with your values, it may be best to either leave the company, or first establish yourself as a strong contributor before trying to change the culture.”
