People risk is operational risk. Clarity on day one saves arbitration energy later.
Job description discipline
Write for outcomes: what shipped, what served, what reconciled. Tools can be taught; fuzzy ownership cannot.
Probation that is fair
Share a simple 30-60-90 with metrics and check-ins. Early feedback should be kind and specific — ambiguity helps no one.
Documentation habits
Keep signed acknowledgements for policies that protect customers and money: expense limits, data handling, and safety. Store scans where backups exist.
