A small electrical contractor that had never had an HR department before hired me as their first HR manager. He says he sincerely appreciates his employees but needs someone to focus on them. My first endeavor is to find out what they are currently happy with working there and what they need to improve upon. I’m trying to figure out how to approach this, and I have questions:
1. How should I introduce myself to the employees?
2. Do you think a survey is a good idea? As it is the first meeting, what questions would be good to ask?
