Successful business development is directly dependent on the employee team and which roles each member plays. New staff must be oriented and taught not merely about their own tasks to accomplish but about what other team members do, and who to address when various unpredictable working situations appear. They must be aware of who has decision-making power and expertise that might be helpful in the working process. Those issues are more essential than learning the location of a dining hall or washroom.
New team member should understand that responsibilities change on regular basis, so job roles change accordingly. All the changes and future perspectives are usually discussed at staff meetings. In order to learn what responsibilities and what role you play now, each member should ask questions to specify the details.
However, frequently employees are afraid or hesitate to ask too many questions. They basically rely upon the human resources department to tell them about all changes. The latter sometimes simply don’t know the whole thing, so are useless in your problem. The truth is that you will not be able to do your job well in case you don’t know the role you play in a project and what other people do.
Supervisors, human resources department and employees must all take liability and assure that each employee knows and understands his own responsibilities and roles. Awareness is the essential condition for efficient and qualitative performance at working place.
