honour of being able to help numerous professionals land their dream job

offers and so if this is something that you're interested in working with me one

on one I can give you details about that at the end of this video when you first

start a new job it's very easy to just go with the flow do as you're told and

try not to rock the boat just so that you can pass the probation period but

what if I told you that there were different ways that you can show up to

your new workplace environment not only so that you can just fit in and adapt

but that you can really truly be your best self every day so I'm gonna walk

you through my five tips on how to adapt to a new workplace environment so that

you can set yourself up for success in your new job in company tip number one

observe the lay of the land notice how things are done if you find that the way

that people work in your company or department is very individualistic

meaning people are very independent with their work then take notice of that and

keep that in mind this likely means that in this company they tend to value

making independent decisions and working independently and being able to come up

with solutions and recommendations on your own with limited guidance and

supervision on the other hand if you find that there's a lot of collaboration

going on people sharing ideas with one another then perhaps this company or

team tends to value communication and teamwork being able to take notice of

your environment and keeping this in mind will help you in your future

interactions with your co-workers and colleagues on the tasks assignments and

projects that you end up working on tip number two be friendly and introduce

yourself to people as you meet them now you don't have to necessarily go around

handing cookies to every new co-worker that you meet and introduce yourself but

you should be willing to smile and introduce yourself and talk to anyone

who comes across your path and makes sure that you get to know them as your

potential new co-worker so don't be afraid to make small talk with your new

co-workers ask them how long they've been here are they enjoying it what do

they do you want to ask them small questions about themselves in a friendly

yet professional way tip number three learn the processes systems and business

well the earlier and more that you're able to understand how the business

works how the processes are run how the systems function the better that you're

going to be able to perform your job with fewer hiccups and setbacks so take

notes ask critical questions when you're receiving training play around with the

software in system so that you understand them do not be afraid to ask

questions these will all help to accelerate your

learning of the basics for your job tip number four ask smart questions when you

first join a company right then and there is the time that you need to ask

the questions that need to be asked people aren't going to be upset with you

if you ask them basic questions and critical questions now but they may be

upset with you if you ask basic questions six months or a year from now

you need to think through the questions that you want to ask so that you can

help to understand the business and the processes better and you need to be

willing to actually open your mouth and ask them and don't forget what the

answers are you don't want to repeat the same questions again and again because

you didn't take proper notes or you didn't actually understand it when it

was explained to you so to leave a positive impression is to ask smart

questions ask critical questions ask why questions and then understand it and if

you don't understand follow-up right then and there don't

wait a week or two to ask them again and finally tip number five identify

low-hanging fruit opportunities for improvement once you're familiar with

your team your department business processes and functions it's time now to

start to observe and identify possible areas for improvement these are things

that you know can easily be improved on and will increase the level of

efficiency for your team and company for example let's say that you identify

manual processes in your team or departments that are slowing things down

and that you know if you just implemented an automated Excel

spreadsheet that that would speed up the processes and would require less manual

labor once you identify these potential areas

for improvement don't be afraid to bring them to the attention of your manager

and make the recommendation to have them changed and offer for you to be the lead

person to make that change and then the key is to do it

implement that change implement that improvement and don't forget to record

the results of that change or improvement that you implemented so that

at the end of the year when there's a performance review you'll be able to

bring it up and that's going to help you with your bonus and your salary and your

future promotion potential so there you have it those are my five tips on how to

adapt to a new workplace environment so that you can set yourself up for success
