In fact, no consultation will take place unless both participants agree to leave everything that's said in that room. Read on to learn exactly what you can expect during a Join-Up. Join-Ups usually begin with general conversation about how things are going between the new employee and his or her supervisor, then move into an exploration of expectations. Next, they lead the team to discuss communication issues. And we may ask supervisors how they take time to discuss the employee's work, share information, and provide opportunities for employees to talk about their ideas and concerns.
People often misunderstand each other's signals.
Since we live in a society where it's not OK to talk clearly to others, people often don't confront each other about such misunderstandings-they either stew about it or ignore it and hope it won't happen again. If you get these issues out in the open and resolve them early on, it'll make everyone's life easier down the road. We'll also ask the employee what he or she could do. The team cooperates to create practical ways to improve the way they work. And it gives them a chance to use their own creativity and introspection to improve their work relationships, their workplace, and their productivity.
