Guide to the Workplace
Really usable tips for your first day!

In our Guide to the Workplace, we’ve put together some really useable top tips to set you up for success in the workplace.

What the guide looks at
- Day one! – things to achieve on day 1 and the things oyu might not think about (what’s the lunch situation?)
- Being nice! – you don’t get to pick your colleagues and they’re now your most important business contacts
- Being constructive! – it’s not about what you say, it’s how you go about saying it.
- Be organized – you’ll need to be self sufficient! There’s no teacher checking up on you at work.
- Speak out – good employees question everything – how? why? Spend time with others and don’t be afraid to check if you’re unsure
- Be accountable – take active control of your own to do list, your learning and development, and ugh – when things go wrong!
