Starting a new job can be daunting for anyone, but especially if you’ve just moved thousands of miles away from your home country.
This time, we’re talking about how we can best welcome new international colleagues on their very first days at work. What’s it like to arrive to work in the UK for the very first time? What challenges can you face while settling in? And what can managers and team leaders do to make the experience a positive one?
Our host, Katy McDonald, is a Fellow for International Retention in NHS England North East and Yorkshire Region, and she’s joined by 2 guests to get to grips with welcoming new recruits.
- Mark Doblas, a Lead Clinical Practice Facilitator in Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust
- Senior Sister Rhian Trivett, responsible for running the Older Persons Assessment Unit in Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust
