Abstract

Richard just started his job at a new multinational company. Although he has prior experience in his field, he has not worked at a global company before, particularly one so large. In addition his new organization utilizes a lot of teamwork, which is new to him because in his previous job he was very independent and had little contact with coworkers. He is relieved to find that his onboarding experience is pleasant, with people in his workplace being generally warm and supportive. His coworkers extend frequent invitations lor him to join them for lunch and even for drinks afler work, and his supervisor stops frequently to discuss how Richard is adjusting to his new job. The support that his coworkers and supervisor provide makes Richard feel welcome, and he finds that his transition to his new organization is going much better than expected.
