A warm welcome…
Few days back, I joined the R&D division of a telecom major. I was previously working with a renowned Indian company active in offshore product development market. The intent of this post is to bullet out my joining experiences in my new employment:
1.As soon as I entered the reception area on Day 1, I was greeted by a HR person and was provided with a Welcome kit consisting of a 5”x 8” booklet giving an overview of the company, groups guidelines and different forms
2.After an hour, I was attended by two HR persons (boarding coordinators hence forth) and was familiarized with the enterprise portals and key HR/Finance personnel
3.The boarding coordinator introduced me to my pre-decided coach (manager) and buddy (peer). Then I was introduced to the admin personnel designated for the group (every group has at least one dedicated admin personnel), I am supposed to work with
**All of the above happened in the pre lunch session.
4.The designated buddy took me for lunch
5.Post lunch the admin personnel for the group was ready with my joining gift (a very attractive travel bag) and laptop (a brand new Dell Latitude D820)
6.The admin personnel then took me around and showed my place of work
7.The work place was equipped with a latest model IP telephone (used to dream of having an IP telephone on my desk while in previous employment), a stationery basket (pen, pencil, sharpener, eraser, paper clips, board pins, 2 markers, duster, post it, stapler, stapler pins and paper punch) and a small cabinet for lodging personal belongings etc.
8.I opened my laptop and found a welcome note from the IT department with user, password and email id. I logged in and to my surprise, I found my mail client already configured. The welcome note comprised of instructions for configuring printers and how to raise tickets to local IT
9.Next, I was called in the reception area and bank personnel handed me my salary account details and debit card etc.
10.Next one hour was spent in going through the enterprise portal and getting familiarize with the location
11.While leaving the office for the day, I was given my ID Badge at the reception.
Day 2 onwards I was like any other employee working in the center. Things were really fast. It was an overwhelming experience (getting inducted into a new organization within a day).
