Create communities of trust through immersive orientations, and give positive feedback through group recognition. Enable high levels of intra-ofﬁce communication, including transparent safety records and develop zero-risk policies for everything from accidents to ergonomics. Implement comprehensive safety and protocol training. Beyond physical safety, offer a comprehensive envelope of support and guidance for young employees on life basics (relocating, ﬁlling out tax forms, ﬁnding health care providers) by designating a “life resources” contact in the human resources ofﬁce or starting a digital peer advice bulletin. performance review, implement smaller monthly or even weekly reviews, and schedule regular checkins to make sure young employees are on track with long-term projects. Train managers to provide detailed, effective feedback. Institutionalize feedback policies company-wide so young employees know that their guidance is not left to chance.
