What methods have you found successful in determining the priorities when you start in a new facility?

"First and foremost, I seek to building relationships at a new workplace. Getting to know my coworkers on a personal level is a top priority because forming relationships leads to trust, honesty, and comfortability. When I feel like I know my coworkers and managers, I am best able to seek their honest feedback and opinions about the current atmosphere, productivity, and systems in the workplace. From there, I am able to identify which common themes need to be immediately addressed. While efficient workplace practices are important, so is the retention of employees, so I'd want to make sure people feel heard before I begin taking action and making changes."
