Source text - English Everybody somehow remembers their first day in a new job at a new company. Some faces may be blurred; other will be stark in your mind. You might remember exactly what you did on that day, or you might just remember your feelings. But what would it feel like to join a company when only three people are there to welcome you? This is what happened to XXXXXXX, European Internal Audit Director. "I joined when the pandemic was at its highest peak in Madrid. Only three people were in the office and these three were only there because I was joining."
The onboarding plans that were arranged for him changed overnight, but he still had a good onboarding experience. “In my previous company I spent one year working from home, so this way of working was not new for me. The new thing was working closely and from home with people I had never met before or only very briefly. When you don’t know the people you work with, understanding their comments or reactions can be more challenging in virtual meetings. However, everybody has been very supportive during these first months and I believe that by communicating openly, we have resolved even this challenge quite well."
Translation - Spanish De algún modo, todos recordamos nuestro primer día de trabajo en una nueva empresa. Algunas caras pueden estar borrosas; otras se habrán quedado grabadas en nuestra mente. Puede que recordemos exactamente lo que hicimos ese día, o puede que sólo nos acordemos de cómo nos sentíamos. Pero ¿cómo sería empezar a trabajar en una empresa cuando sólo hay tres personas para darnos la bienvenida? Esto es lo que le sucedió a XXXXXXX, director de auditoría interna de Europa. "Me incorporé cuando la pandemia estaba en el punto álgido en Madrid. Sólo había tres personas en la oficina y estaban ahí debido a mi incorporación." Los planes previstos para su incorporación cambiaron de la noche a la mañana pero, aún así, la experiencia fue positiva. "En mi anterior empresa pasé un año trabajando desde casa, por lo que esta forma de trabajar no me era ajena. La novedad fue trabajar estrechamente desde casa con personas a las que no conocía, o conocía muy poco. Cuando no conoces a las personas con las que trabajas, entender sus comentarios o reacciones en reuniones virtuales puede resultar más difícil. Sin embargo, todos me han apoyado durante estos primeros meses y creo que, gracias a habernos comunicado abiertamente, hemos resuelto incluso este desafío bastante bien."
