Having issues with getting a first year staff to make prepared on things / realize that work does not have to be perfect...

I know this is the better side of the problem but it has gotten to the point where they are overwhelming nervous about getting their work done and won’t submit anything to review in fear of it being incorrect. Any advice would be fantastic!

Please don’t take this personally but could it be the person who they work with gave them the vibe that things they submitted needs to be perfect?

I totally agree with this. Always get an attitude when she reviews my work when it comes to the points that everytime I upload a workpaper to the portal, I mentally prepare to lose my job. I am so glad I just transferred to different office successfully this week so I dont have to work with her anymore. Hope people are nicer on the other side.

I was super nervous as an intern and a manager told me something that really helped me and has stuck with me. He told me that if I do my best to get through my work it will help him a lot more than if I wasn’t there to do the work, even if I make a lot of mistakes.

Of course! The way he brought it up made me feel empowered and appreciated rather than embarrassed which I really needed at the time.
