Due to a wide variety of personalities, relationships can take time to form. How do you ensure that you have a strong line of communication with your co-workers and supervisors, right from the start?

"I believe the first few weeks of any new position should be devoted to listening and understanding the culture, landscape, needs and expectations of team members and colleagues. In previous positions, I have found 'listening tours,' valuable, in which I schedule coffees, lunches or short meetings with as many colleagues as possible during the first few weeks to discuss their challenges, successes and expectations for the position. This sets us up as collaborators from the very beginning."

The situation would probably be different now that we're still working from home; however, it depends on the team. I would definitely love to meet up with the team to introduce myself properly and also listen to their experiences working for TAL. But if we working from home, Zoom calls or Google Hangout will always do.
Rachelle's Feedback
Now that most people are working from home, this is an excellent point! The fact that you would first listen to others' experiences shows that you are thoughtful and ready to make lasting co-worker relationships.
