5 Questions To Ask Every New Team Member
Onboarding a new team member can be a difficult task. You have to train them, integrate them into the team, and get to know them.

These questions aren’t meant to be an interrogation. Rather, the questions leaders need to ask of new employees are to get to know them and where they’re going to fit into the organization.
5 Questions To Ask Every New Team Member

Asking how do you like to work lets you know how the employee does their best work. Do they do better working in an open office environment or are they an introverted employee and like to work alone?
