At least half of your success in a new job will depend on how quickly you learn the rules. corporate culture accepted in the company, and how well you will be able to play by its rules.

In established companies where individual people are responsible for culture, it is usually complex and multi-layered. Sometimes newcomers to the company are given a whole course about the history of the enterprise and how, given all this heritage, one should behave at work. Corporate history may include legends about ancestors and ruling descendants, sayings and aphorisms, mottos, slogans and symbols. All this is worth knowing, and not because it is supposed to be, but because one day understanding the company's strategy will help you think in the same vein. Rationalization proposal in the spirit of the founding father, in the eyes of management will weigh more than just ideas.

Rule #1: Keep the company's stated strategy in mind and believe in it. Seize the opportunity to align your actions with corporate values.

Understand the rules of the game

Corporate culture is everywhere, even where people don't know about it. This is what is called "this is how it is with us" and applies to everything - from the manner of having lunch at work, ending with common holidays. In fact, it should not matter for an employee whether it is about buckwheat in a thermos, or about lunches with a fork and knife in a bright dining room in full view of the authorities - it is his job to accept the routine, and the sooner he learns the principles of corporate culture, the faster will become his. You can, of course, swim against the current, and instead of going to the dining room with everyone else, nibbling the sandwiches brought dry. But this is the first step towards being branded as an outsider.

Come to new workplace with its charter is definitely not worth it. And even ask questions, wait - you can hurt fragile corporate hearts. In one very famous company at the time of its heyday, in every office there were portraits of the creator, and now living. A very worthy applicant had the imprudence to ask why this was necessary, and jokingly compared the owner with the leader of the world proletariat. The deeply offended HR manager did not appreciate the humor, and after a dry conversation with the girl, he immediately sent her documents to the trash.

Rule number 2: From the first minute, look, listen, draw conclusions and play the same game.

Learn to relax corporately

Another important part of corporate culture is leisure. Everyone loves to relax, but everyone does it differently. Therefore, in one company, holidays are natural and joyful, in another, employees are forced to "have fun" and painfully look at the clock. Miss corporate parties highly discouraged, immediately pass for "unincorporated", and this sometimes costs a reputation. In one company, managers decided to celebrate the birthdays of employees with obligatory holidays - with balloon cakes, an individual gift, a concert performed by employees, but, most importantly, that everyone should be there! As a result, each such birthday (and they happened almost every week) turned into torture. He suffered, blushing with shame, the birthday man. Employees were languishing from the tension of the event, and even agreed to read any verse, so that only the holiday would end sooner. It seems that only the leaders rejoiced, who each time realizing their hidden pedagogical talents, tired the whole team with the entertainer "Come on, children, stand in a circle." But be that as it may, everyone who regularly attended birthday parties was in favor with the leadership.

Rule #3: Don't shun the community and the opportunity to showcase your sociality.

To adopt a corporate culture means to become adequate to the company and its established procedures. Those who do not meet the principles and norms of the organization sooner or later leave it. So, if you want to live in a new family happily ever after, you will definitely have to learn its cultural (even if not very) values.

When moving from one place of work to another, most employees have difficulty communicating in a new team. An established company is also reluctant to accept a newcomer.

As a result, a person loses the desire to appear in a new community, but one has to do it for the sake of earning.

Practical and effective advice from psychologists will help you cope with anxiety and join in new company, subsequently becoming a full-fledged participant in the work process.

To learn how to behave new job, you need to deal with work tasks, interaction with other employees and new acquaintances.

First day

The official acquaintance of a new employee with colleagues occurs with the help of a leader - he introduces a colleague to the whole society on the first day. This rule applies to small firms.

If you are planning to enter large corporation, then the newcomer on the first day gets acquainted only with the department, and later the person independently interacts with other employees on working moments.

A few secrets of behavior:

• Good remember the names of each of the employees - if you can’t remember, write them down.
• If a someone's name is accidentally forgotten - it must be asked again immediately.
• Firm has its own group in social networks Or are they chatting? Keep an eye out for additions to this community.
• In the presence of of the department's work regulations, it is necessary to inquire about the list of working policies.
• ask with colleagues, where the dining room is located or where it is better to have lunch.

It is easier for men to join the women's team, because women are always good-natured towards the opposite sex at work.

To make the first friendships, you need to communicate with colleagues more often and show interest in them, talking not only about work.

Basic Rules

To become "one's own among strangers" it is necessary to pay attention to a number of effective rules behavior in the new team.

They will help you quickly adapt and make a number of useful and lasting acquaintances:

1. Find common language with colleagues. Don't act like you've been working in a new place for a long time.

   It is better to understand the rules of behavior in a new place in advance, study their principles, foundations and try to enter into them.

2. Don't be nervous. Stop worrying about everything - fully integrating into a new society can take weeks or months.

   Here it is not the worker who plays the role, but psychological aspect and the ability to get along with people.

3. Appearance and human qualities. The professionalism of the new colleague will be assessed later, but now it is recommended to wear not too bright clothes.

   In addition, in male or women's team It is worth adhering to the principle of "talk less - listen more."

4. Define team leader. This rule is one of the most important, it will help in the future to enlist support from a person to whom all colleagues listen.

   Such an acquaintance will subsequently make the newcomer respected.

5. Gossip. In the vast majority of teams, there are always two groups of people weaving intrigues and gossip around colleagues.

   Over time, they will try to pull the newcomer to them, which should not be allowed.

It is better to remain neutral or find a person with a similar ideology and become friends with him. But this does not mean at all that it is worth starting to weave intrigues against others with him.

Important! The best place for networking is the dining room, where employees dine.

To brighten up the excitement in a new place, try to properly equip your desktop by arranging accessories and decor elements the way your colleagues do.

If this technique does not bring positive results, it is worth turning to psychology - experts know what to do when attempts to join the team fail.

The advice of psychologists will help you adapt even in an unfriendly team, because adhering to simple rules, you can feel like a well-established employee of the company in a week.

Examples:

Common Mistakes

It is the first days that are considered the most crucial period at the beginning of work at the company. Most employees make a lot of common mistakes on their first meeting.

In order not to arouse hostility among colleagues from the first day, refrain from the following mistakes:

• Passivity- too much information on the first day causes confusion for a beginner, it may seem to colleagues that he is indifferent.
• familiarity- you should not wedge into the conversation of colleagues without an invitation, it is better to wait for the right moment.
• Evasion from the rules- if colleagues notice that a newcomer is ignoring the unspoken rules of the team, they will initially be biased towards him.
• Public comparison- it is not recommended to openly compare working conditions at the previous and current place.
• Creation false uniqueness - the work of a beginner is appreciated only when it is demonstrated.

Also, do not impose innovations on management and employees: if they were accepted “with a bang” at the previous company, then the chances of such a perception in a new place are small.

It will be much easier for a person who has already been the boss at the last place of work. It is more difficult for a novice in this field, who first came to a managerial position, to a new company.

1. Adaptation. To begin with, you should get acquainted with each employee of the department where the person is appointed as a manager.
2. Orientation. Become familiar with the new responsibilities and policies of the firm immediately.
3. Actions. It is important to prove yourself as a boss already on the first day, based on interpersonal relationships with subordinates.
4. Execution of functions. At this stage, problems may arise: the sooner they are resolved, the sooner the adaptation process will end.

Do not forget about the heads of other departments and maintain good relationships with them. The responsibility of the new leader necessarily includes attending meetings of managers.

Important! Full adaptation a new leader will occur no earlier than 1-1.5 months from the start of work at the company.

Guided by the suggested tips, you can quickly and effectively join the company as an employee, as well as a boss in a new place.

The main thing is to try to be friendly and responsive: then the connections will improve by themselves.

"Komsomolskaya Pravda", expert driving instructors and St. Petersburg celebrities give advice to those who have just got behind the wheel

Summer. Petersburgers go on vacation, free time appears. Someone is resting abroad, someone is in the country. Many spend hot summer days not on barbecues and sunbathing, but ... on painstaking classes in driving schools. Not only because there is a lot of free time, but also because, they say, it is easier to study in the summer.

One way or another, but in summer period more and more newcomers appear on the roads. Things, as you know, change a person, and most of all, a machine. This is a new life in which you need to learn a lot of new rules. Failure to comply with them is fraught with consequences. Sometimes tragic...

At the beginning of June, I worked on several accidents, in which people who had just got behind the wheel took part, - said traffic police officer Alexei Irvindt. They always blinked in surprise. I, they say, did not turn right here, because I was confused, and in general I recently began to drive a car. I was wondering what they teach in driving schools?

The rules of behavior on the road are both vowels, which are necessarily taught in driving schools, and unspoken, which are followed by experienced drivers.

Spare no money

Many beginners, and even experienced drivers, are advised to take extreme driving courses.

There are many such activities. Everyone promises to teach both extreme sports, and a counter-variant, and almost how to fly to the moon. According to experts, this is the right thing to do. But each individual driver needs an individual approach.

It is important for me to identify the level of driving a student, - says instructor Ivan Chuzhmar. - It is necessary to make an individual program.

Classes in a group, of course, also have value, but individual ones are much more effective. All attention is paid only to you.

And you can join the group a little later, - Chuzhmar assures. - Now, after all, the main thing is your result, and it is difficult to notice it in the group. Other participants hide mistakes.

On the other hand, studying in a group makes it possible to observe other drivers, - they say in one of the St. Petersburg extreme driving schools. - You can celebrate their successes and learn from their mistakes. The purpose of repeating the exercises is to form a "memory of the body" in order to react not with the brains, but with reflexes at the subconscious level in a real dangerous traffic situation.

Exclamation mark help?

All drivers with less than two years of driving experience must affix a yellow exclamation mark to the windshield of their car. For other members traffic understood - in front of them a newcomer. And they gave way, and did not beep once again. It's all in theory. In reality, as a rule, it happens differently.

There are a lot of people on the road who seem to have problems with their heads. Noticing an exclamation point, they begin to “cut off”, honk and make you nervous in every possible way, - a driver with three years of experience shares his experience Vera Anisimova. - I experienced all these horrors on myself. I was advised to unstick the sign, and everything returned to normal.

However, road experts still advise mounting it on the rear window.

It's for normal people. They will understand and forgive. After all, you warned them, - says Ivan Chuzhmar. - Any person was born a pedestrian in the first place, and only then became a driver. Although there are individuals who claim otherwise.

According to the instructor, there will always be a driver who will not endure and scare a beginner or “cut” if something does not suit him in your behavior. Such cases, they say, will definitely happen. It's worth being prepared for this. To notice such reckless drivers is taught in specialized driving schools.

This is a whole science. Can't explain in two words. But it is quickly understood by everyone and applied in life. I always treat the participants with the sign on the glass with respect. If I meet such people in the parking lot, I will definitely offer my help. As a rule, people respond with a smile and agreement.

Rights to the machine

Soon on the roads of St. Petersburg, and throughout Russia, unusual graduates of driving schools may appear. Last fall, the State Duma adopted a bill related to road safety. Changes are coming - both minor and dramatic.

The document does not provide for self-training of drivers to obtain the rights of categories "A" and "B" - the so-called "passing exams externally." Driving school is a must.

Soon, driving schools will have to acquire cars with automatic transmission. The public got it.

Why learn to drive on the mechanics, if later you will change to the “automatic” anyway?

The traffic police supported the initiative. Moreover, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin approved the proposed innovation last summer.

Driving school students who pass the exam in a car with an "automatic" will receive a corresponding driver's license. With special note. Passed on the "automatic" - on the "automatic" and go. But from the mechanics to the "automatic" it will be possible to transfer without problems. This is logical. After all, the experience gained while driving a car with a manual transmission cannot be replaced by anything.

The driver training program will also change, - says the head of the main department for ensuring road safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Viktor Nilov.

According to experts, such a decision is also the prevention of accidents. Especially among those who just got behind the wheel.

Innovations will clearly reduce the level of corruption among traffic police officers, ”Artur Khromov, an instructor at one of the St. Petersburg driving schools, told a KP correspondent. - A number of examination exercises, for example, starting from a standstill on a hill, which costs inexperienced drivers huge nerves, is really elementary in a car with automatic transmission. "Automatic" is installed on foreign cars that have power steering. It spins fine. Imagine how difficult it is for a beginner to frantically turn the Zhiguli steering wheel, which barely turns. But it is on these exercises that the examiners bring down the passers. An arbitrary choice of transmission, I think, should solve some of these problems.

The best prevention of accidents for those who will drive an “automatic” is to study and pass on the rights in a car with automatic transmission, - says Nadezhda Gerasimova, a graduate of this year's driving school. - I spent the lion's share of the time during the training period not to confuse gears and not stall at traffic lights. Better not to bother with it. And train to drive through difficult sections. For example, in a driving school we were taught to overcome roundabouts only in theory. In practice, they never went. And in the first two months on the way to work and back roundabout (Revolution Highway and Energetikov Avenue) I literally drove with tears in my eyes.

Forget about phones

Now few people can do without a phone. People talk on mobile phones everywhere - in the elevator, on the street, in public transport, at work. Including driving a car. People who have just sat down at the wheel should be extremely careful.

You can get so used to your cell phone that you will reach out to it out of momentum to answer. And you will hold the steering wheel with one hand, - says psychologist Nikolai Rodossky. - All these things that you used, being exclusively a pedestrian, it is better to forget. Because you will lose concentration on the road, especially considering that you are not so experienced.

For those who need to be always in touch, there are several alternatives: firstly, if the call is very important, then it is better to stop. In addition, there are sets of headsets that will allow you to speak without taking your hands off the steering wheel. But do not forget that this is not a panacea. It's not about how you hold the steering wheel, but that you focus on the conversation. Motorists with experience advise: for the first trips, mobile phones should be completely turned off.

The same applies to radio. Also, at first, ask your passengers not to talk. A car with an inexperienced driver is not the best place for chatting.

ADVICE FOR BEGINNER MOTORISTS

There are rules that you won't find in any textbook. Those laws that are developed over time only by experienced motorists:

When driving a front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive car, do not turn the steering wheel all the way when turning, but always leave a reserve. Otherwise, the CV joints, or "joints of equal angular velocity", wear out quickly, and you will have to change them regularly.

It is always better to park the car in reverse, so it takes up less space, is easier to maneuver and has fewer problems getting out of the parking lot.

For owners of cars with a manual (manual) transmission: do not drive in neutral. When descending a steep hill, the steering wheel and wheels may lock, resulting in loss of vehicle control. This is especially dangerous in winter on slippery roads. When approaching a traffic light, brake with the engine and shift to a lower gear. Do not constantly depress the clutch, even during short stops, shift to neutral. Otherwise, the release bearing wears out very much.

Do not leave the car for a long time on the handbrake, it is better to leave it in gear. Otherwise, you will have to tighten the handbrake cable very often, and in winter you won’t be able to start at all, the brake pads will freeze to the drums.

Carefully run over the speed bump. Reduce speed a few meters before the obstacle, slow down, and before the obstacle itself, sharply release the brake. At the same time, your car will deftly slip through the obstacle, and the suspension will not suffer from holes.

Check the air conditioner. Turn it on regularly so that the coolant does not leak out and the pipes do not dry out. Repair will be expensive

In order to protect the car from skidding, brake intermittently. By vigorously and quickly depressing the brake pedal

And finally, drive the car in good mood, without haste, only in this way you will reach your destination on time.

HOW ARE THEM?

How did Petersburg celebrities learn to drive?

Showman and TV presenter Dmitry NAGIEV:

On the second lesson in a driving school, I realized that it was not mine. Someone is given to be a driver, and someone is a simple pedestrian. But despite all the difficulties, I got the rights. You don't have to drive fast on the roads. For example, I am a calm driver, despite the fact that I won several survival races. And I can give advice to beginners: do not react to boors. There are a lot of them on the roads, they can be confusing. And in general, because of rudeness, there are too many accidents in our country.

Actress Evelina BLEDANS:

It can be said that I learned to drive on the road, and memorized the Rules of the Road already on the go. After some time, I realized that I needed a driving instructor. I found a coach, and for some reason he began to teach me how to drive a manual gearbox. I swore a lot, as I pressed hard on the gas and did not squeeze the clutch. A couple of classes, and the coach ran away from me, saying that he did not need any money for training and that he did not need gray hair at his age. I thought, okay. Anyway, in my first car, the Gelendvagen ji 500, there was an automatic gearbox. And my advice to beginners, I would give this: do not be afraid of anything. You need to be brave and go into battle, be confident in yourself and your abilities.

Singer Tatyana BULANOVA:

I got my license back in 1994. In general, to be honest, I do not like to drive. The eternal problem with traffic jams and parking. Driving in circles looking for a parking space is not my thing. I can easily get on and go by public transport, I often take a taxi or a trolley bus, why not? I want to give advice to beginners: first of all, do not be afraid. Force yourself to get behind the wheel and drive. That's how I taught my brother to ride. If it wasn't for me, he still wouldn't drive.

Actor Alexander TYUTRYUMOV:

I have been licensed since 1979. Then I attended the military department, and we had such a specialty as an officer of the automobile service. It so happened that I learned the whole process of driving inside and out. The most important thing is not to be afraid and not to panic, to overcome all fears in yourself. Be attentive, notice the signs. And the head should be able to rotate 380 degrees.

Composer Igor KORNELYUK:

I learned to drive a car ... you won't believe it, at the age of seven! It was in Brest. My father bought a Zaporozhets. I looked at dad and dreamed of getting behind the wheel myself as soon as possible. And then one day, when my father asked me to go somewhere with him, I answered him that I would go on the condition that he would let me steer. He agreed. At first I went in first gear. Then dad allowed me to go to the second one. A few days later - on the third. I grew up, bought myself a BMW and got my license easily. And my friends were surprised how I could get behind the wheel and drive right away, they didn’t know my childhood story. I advise all beginners to learn the Rules of the Road. I travel around St. Petersburg and have the feeling that no one has read them.

COMPETENT

Driving physics teacher Ivan CHUZHMAR:

Summer is the holiday season. As a rule, most people have a little more free time. And most importantly, it's not so slippery. This puts many students at ease. Although there is an opinion among some students that if you studied at a driving school in the winter, then everything will be easy for you.

I do not agree with this opinion. Both winter and summer roads have their own characteristics. And to learn all the subtleties in one full season is simply impossible. Therefore, when asked when it is better to go to study, I answer this way: you are scared in the winter, then take the exam in the summer. But in order to drive even in winter, you need to learn the features of winter driving.

I have several students who have been coming to classes throughout the year for several years. On the circuit, we remember many moments with them, both in summer and in winter. And in the city I work with them to pay attention to the change in their driving behavior. You know how our "experienced" people drive. It is enough to look at the accident of experienced drivers and it becomes scary for beginners.

BY THE WAY

The road for the pedestrian and for the driver are two different things.

You have walked more than once, for example, to the subway or to the store. The path seems to be familiar. However, the same route for a motorist may be different. There are also one-way roads or, for example, parking at the destination will be prohibited. Or even the roads will be under repair. You will literally get lost.

There will be many such surprises, - motorists share their observations. - To avoid such situations, you need to study the route of movement in detail before the trip.

Get maps and atlases, and ideally a GPS navigator. On the most important routes for you - to work - ride several times. Good knowledge of the road is the key to success for beginners.
