In his article, "Okay, Now That We've Hired Them..." (Exchange, January 2008), Dennis Vicars offers these suggestions...

"George Carlin once said that the two worst days of a person’s life are the day you lose a job and the day you find one. I think I understand both these days because I, like you, have experienced both. The second worst day can become one of the best if a few obvious rules on human behavior are observed:

• Treat people the way you’d like to be treated on your first day of work — greeted, introduced, and in some small way celebrated.
• Trained in a concise, organized manner minus chaos and stress.
• Given an opportunity to know the expectations of the school/center and what the job performance measurements look like.
• Encouraged to ask questions and made to feel like a team member.
• Appreciated by actions, not words."
