Maria arrives
I came across a case study that I thought I could share with you as it develops. That is the adventures of Maria during her first six months in her new job.
Maria has volunteered herself to be featured in this blog and it will be interesting to see if she makes the typical mistakes of a new hire and a few “special mistakes” of her own.
Over the months of her job transition we can follow Maria and develop a case study around her.
The story begins:
Maria has landed a job as HR manager at an Insurance brokers employing about sixty people. Her team is made up of five people who are all qualified by examination with the CIPD (Chartered Institute for Personnel Development).
On her first morning she meets with the CEO and discusses the company’s main priorities with HR which is to reduce turnover and increase HR capability. She feels well briefed.
