1. 1
   We have all, at some time in our careers, been the new employee. Put yourself in those shoes again. Remember what is was like to ask so many questions in such a short amount of time. Recall what it was like to have to watch and listen to everyone around you for hours on end.
   
2. 2
   Befriend the new employee. Show them around the workplace, introduce them to other employees.Let them know some stories about your first week on the job. Let your empathy for this stressful time shine through the conversation.

   Ask the new employee to join you for lunch sometime in this first week. If treating for lunch is not in your budget, pick up a cup of coffee or tea for the new employee. Small gestures such as these go a very long way in the eyes of the new employee.
