How To Integrate Yourself into A New Team in the Working Remote Times
By Neha Trivedi, BA Practice Lead
In this “New Normal” setting of working remote since the Covid-19 pandemic; everyone … be it anyone belonging to any age group or from any walk of life; have had to embrace Change in their lives in some form or another…
We have all also evidenced a sharp increase in the job moves (internal or external) that might have occurred voluntarily or involuntarily within the working-class community. A change of company or team by itself brings a lot of uncertainty/stress/anxiety… this only gets heightened if the work setting is also REMOTE.
Here is a list of things to do; that have helped me to integrate myself into a new team; every time I have joined a new project as a consultant…
- Take the opportunity to introduce yourself to the team – give a brief overview of your work history, your strengths and highlight your motivation to join this new team
- Try to connect with the team members individually to learn about them and their role in the team – this is super helpful and lays the foundation for strong professional relationships.
- Bring out the “Student” in you – observe, absorb and seek every opportunity to learn the domain area of work, team culture and communication channels
- Don’t be shy to ASK questions – even if it feels awkward sometimes (trust me it happens to everyone who joins a new area of work – however experienced they maybe); its super important to getting up to speed than wasting time
- Find a mentor or a working buddy to help review and guide you in the initial phase till you can fly on your own
- Be Organized, Show Commitment in your work and Strive to meet your timelines
- Ask for feedback from your peers and manager – don’t hesitate to ask what they think you are not doing right or can do better… it will only help you grow into your role stronger
- Be Humble, Approachable and Available to your team… this simple attitude will quickly ease you into the team
- Be Yourself – Remember you are on the team for who you are so never doubt your skills
- AND Don’t forget to have that SMILE on your face ALWAYS… Good Luck!!!
I hope the list above is helpful to all readers who are currently living through a team change. I would also like to take this opportunity to strongly encourage you to connect with Logisolve; if you are currently looking for an opportunity for yourself or looking to hire a consultant for your company.
