You are the new kid in the block. Your new co-workers are looking at you like you're an animal in the zoo, but none are coming over to say hi. Here are some tips on how to integrate into your company.
1. Join interest groups
The easiest way is to join a group where there is a common interest - like soccer, basketball , ice hockey etc. Team games make good interaction.
2. Smile and say hi
The long corridor and a person incoming . Resist the temptation to look down and walk by. Always smile and say hi when walking past your co-worker. It might be a starter to a conversation.
3. Ask to join lunch
Ask the colleague next to you whether he/she got any lunch plans. Smile, and ask to join if he's going out with the group. Lunch with the group is a great chance for interaction.
4. Identify the lingo
Your co-workers might have some internal lingo as a result of years in the company. Understand the meaning and use appropriately.
