8.1 Virtual meet-ups

When you start your new role, you are often introduced to numerous co-workers all at once and it can be difficult to remember who they are and what role they play. Virtual meet-ups with your team can help solidify relationships and ease you into your new role. They can also be important for managing your wellbeing. Perhaps you could suggest a virtual meet-up to your manager, or they may already have one in place so you can get to know the people you will be working with most closely. As mentioned in Section 7, collaborative work is crucial for success in the hybrid workplace, and forming effective working relationships with your colleagues will really help to achieve this.
