As a business leader, you know that a difficult week doesn’t erase what they’ve learned.
Your new hires may not have that perspective yet.
One rough day can feel like evidence they aren’t suited for the job, even after several days of improvement.
Keep a few concrete examples from their training:
- a task they can now complete independently
- a skill they’ve practiced successfully
- a mistake they’ve learned to avoid.
Bring those examples into the conversation when they hit a setback.
“Last week you needed help with this. Today you handled it yourself.”
It gives them something real to weigh against the frustrating days.
