You have asked Robert to meet with you next week. Please prepare information which you will discuss with him regarding how to handle the following situations.

  • Robert recently hired a new Staff Accountant. Rita Torres has a total of 10 years of accounting experience with 8 years as an Accounting Clerk and the last two years as a Staff Accountant. Discuss some onboarding and training ideas with Robert so Rita can be productive as soon as possible. There is a two week overlap between Rita's hire date and the retiring employee's last day.
