How to Make an Immediate Impact at your New Company
09 Aug, 20225 Minutes
When you start a new job, you are eager to make a good impression and have a positive impact on the company. Of course, this is a great attitude to have. By approaching things the right way you will put your best foot forward and start making a difference at your new company as soon as you start your job.
Come Prepared on Day One
On the first day of your job, come as prepared as you were for your interview. This means arriving on time, bringing a notebook and pen, dressing professionally and thinking through a few things before you arrive. If you know a little about what you will be working on, start forming ideas or refreshing your skills so you’ll be ready to hit the ground running.
Bring things, like your ID and bank information, your employer will need to complete hiring paperwork and anything else you were asked to bring. Be ready to go through some hiring processes and then receive some training.
Be Teachable but Proactive
Even though you are an expert in your field and have relevant experience, or even have skills your trainer doesn’t have, you are still new to the job. This means you need to be teachable. Come to work with a professional and confident attitude, but be willing to learn new things.
Every company does things a little differently, so processes and formalities will be new to you. Also, there’s always something new to learn in every industry, so approach your job in a way that lets you develop your skills.
However, you also need to be proactive. During your first few weeks on the job, your manager will be looking for confirmation that he hired the right candidate. Prove that you are the best choice by proactively learning, asking questions and taking on projects.

Start Producing Immediately
Another way you can prove your worth and make an immediate impact at your new company is to start producing immediately. Complete trainings, set goals, finish tasks and start accomplishing your position’s responsibilities as soon as possible.
While you may not be able to do this during the first week on the job, within the first few weeks or months you should start producing in a way that has an impact on the company. Start taking on responsibilities, volunteering for tasks and assisting your coworkers. This will make an excellent impression and set you up for success with your new job.
Become One with your Team
If you work on a team, you can make a big impact at your company by working closely with your colleagues. Get to know your teammates and find your place on the team. Be willing to learn how the team works together and how you can help it accomplish goals.
Actively participating in team meetings, accomplishing assignments and helping the group complete projects shows that you are a team player and fit in well at the company. It will also help you be more productive so you can have an immediate impact at your new company.
Meet Goals and Deadlines
When you work hard to help your team accomplish group goals and meet deadlines, you are building team unity. Meeting group and personal goals and deadlines will also show your colleagues and employer that you are efficient and dependable.
Meeting goals and deadlines will mean that you are being productive and efficiently completing the responsibilities that come with your position. Goal-driven professionals are valuable and managers recognise and appreciate this characteristic in employees.
Problem Solve
Chances are that you were hired to help solve a problem. Maybe this problem isn’t a huge challenge that is holding the business back, but is as simple as needing an expert in a certain area or needing additional manpower to make a team more productive.
One of the best ways you can make an impact at your new job is to solve problems. Fill the needs you were hired to fill and look for ways you can make things easier for those around you. Come up with creative and strategic solutions that benefit employees and the business. Approaching your job this way will make you a better employer and bring your entire team up.
These tips will help you make an immediate impact at your new job, which will benefit your company and prove to your employer that you are valuable to the business. These skills will also help you grow your career into one that works for you and helps you become better at what you do.
