6 questions to ask your new hire after 6 months
Use this Pyn within the product. Learn how.
Tomorrow, @principal.name has been with us for 6 months! Here's a nudge to ensure you celebrate this milestone and discuss it in your next 1-1. Start with a celebratory announcement in your team's messenger channel or during a team meeting.
At your next 1-1 ask these questions to reflect
1. Tell me about your best week and your worst week.
Why: Uncover passions and annoyances.
2. Is this role what you thought it would be?
Why: Help guide them and correct the course (don’t be taken aback by a “no” 🙂).
3. What would you do differently if you were me?
Why: Learn from your new hire and signal that their ideas matter.
4. On a 1-10 scale, what score would you give your performance and why?
Why: Signals if the person feels the right fit and if they feel that they fully contribute.
5. What feedback do you have for us?
Why: Gives employee the opportunity to provide feedback
Until now, you have mostly listened to their experiences. At this point, you should give your feedback to @principal.name also. What are their strengths? What are their areas for improvement? Be kind - but clear and firm if there are things that need to be improved.
6. How can I help you succeed over the next 6 months?
Why: An opportunity to talk about problems and improvements with a positive future-focused intention
