“清楚就是善良。”.” It’s a phrase Brené Brown uses often and it’s one of my favorites–particularly when it comes to hiring staff. And for many in the northern hemisphere, right now is the height of hiring between the end and beginning of the school years.
一个清晰的 工作描述 是善良的
Whether you’re creating a new 工作描述 or modifying an existing one, it’s important to take time to review the description to make sure it encompasses what the job actually entails. Getting clear on the actual day-to-day tasks and how much time is spent on each task is helpful for the person who will fill the role, but also everyone around them.
Being clear on responsibilities 是善良的 to the existing team and the new team member(s).
一个清晰的 工作公告 是善良的
While the 工作描述 is typically an internal document, the 工作公告 tells potential applicants exactly the type of person you want on your team. This 是善良的 to them because they can quickly decide if they are a good fit or not, and it’s kind to you because you are able to focus your time on realistic prospects.
例如, it’s kind to say that as a nature-based teacher they would be outside the majority of every day of the school year–and in all weather. Or maybe you’re looking for someone to help lead your program towards a more nature-based approach. Say that directlyAnother important piece of the 工作公告 is listing the pay rate. 这对每个人都是好事. (And if you’re hesitating to list it for some reason, I would encourage you to reflect on why that is.)
Being clear on the ideal candidate for the position 是善良的 to the hiring team and to candidates. 顺便说一下，它是 也更公平!)
一个清晰的 面试过程 是善良的
When you reach out to applicants that you would like to interview, be clear on the process. How long will the interview be? 会议的形式是什么? How many people from your team will be attending? How many other candidates are you interviewing?
You can even show kindness to candidates by asking clear questions as well as questions that make it clear to them what you’re expecting for the position. This will also help the hiring team to get a clear picture of the candidate’s experience and expertise.
一个清晰的 新员工培训流程 是善良的
Believe it or not the 新员工培训流程 begins the moment you announce the position and continues through the interview process. However, the process of the job offer itself is probably the first significant onboarding step.
Be clear that you are excited to work 与 them. Be clear in what the hiring package includes (salary, benefits, etc.). Be clear about the start date. And, be clear before you make the offer about what is and isn’t negotiable in the hiring process.
I’ll go into more about onboarding in next week’s newsletter. If you’re wanting this information immediately, we do have a hiring and onboarding course inside The Grove.
Ultimately the more direct the communication, the kinder the entire hiring process will be to everyone involved. 说实话吧, hiring is especially hard right now and yet one of the most important things we do–we need all the kindness we can get.
不断改变生活，
