45 Days For a New Employee To Show You Who They Are
by Dave Soltau / 12d
I titled today’s post ‘45 Days’ because I find that it’s about the length of time (about six weeks) that a new employee starts to show habits of who they really are. As a business owner , you’ve got to know that when you interview anyone for a job, you really aren’t sure what kind of worker this person will turn out to be. At the interview, the candidate might speak well, and have an excellent re
