430: Questions New Hires Are Too Afraid to Ask

We kick off a brand-new series focused on new hire onboarding, starting with the questions new hires are often too afraid to ask. Drawing from my decades of experience at Procter & Gamble and the real-life insights from our clients, I’ll walk you through what your newest team members are really wondering but might not feel confident enough to say out loud.

We’re talking about the tough topics: questions about pay, promotions, fitting in, and what it actually takes to succeed in your business. I’ll show you why fostering curiosity is crucial, how your onboarding culture might be accidentally training people to stay silent, and simple ways you can invite more questions so your new hires settle in faster and become more engaged from day one. 

You’ll hear how transparent compensation structures, mentorship, and simple business tours can dramatically change the way new hires contribute and commit. Plus, I’m serving up practical scripts and tools you can use immediately to make your onboarding welcoming, memorable, and effective.

If you’re ready to stop the cycle of hire-regret-repeat and start delivering truly world-class onboarding experiences in your small business, dive in!
