IDEA: Vow to thoroughly train new hires: you know they know nothing upfront.

Take the time to fully train new hires into your company. You know they are new and need consistent thoughtful training during their first year.

Here are some suggestions to keep your new hires:

• Select the right supervisors who like to help train in order to give the new employee a good shot at success.
• Make sure there is a complete detailed job description available the first day he or she begins.
• Make sure the job description is varied and covers a number of duties to fully train the new hire.
• This is a right time beforehand to actually write down your company procedures to follow step by step.
• Encourage the new hires to ask questions constantly.
• Give them two or three people to turn to or ask suggestions or advice in order that they are not waiting on just one individual.
• Take the time to train the new hire so they will exceed and reduce the risk of employee turnover which has negative effects on the company’s bottom line.
• Make the commitment upfront before you give them their first offer letter.
