James is the Director of Training and Development at Breakthrough Academy who trains over 450 contractors. He’s hired and conducted expectations meetings for 100’s of staff all the way from laborers to executives.
One thing that a lot of contractors struggle with is holding people accountable. Employees make up their own expectations, standards slip, and your frustrations mount. The expectations meeting solves this by clearly articulating the standards at the precise moment when your new employee is the most malleable.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
*What's the Job Offer Call and why do you need to conduct one?
*How to get your candidate excited about the job they are about to start
*The best way to reinforce the positive attributes of a new hire while prepping them mentally for inevitable on-the-job coaching
*The prep you need to do BEFORE you go into an Expectations Meeting
*The 5 parts of the Expectations Meeting that allow a really strong start for any new employee
*How to come across as a strong leader a new hire can trust
