Sounds like a you problem
It's a gamble on your part. You can either figure it out to tell someone that this new hire isn't getting it. The gamble is if someone else says they are getting it. Then it just shows that you're unable to teach the staff below you.
Don't listen to Pwc1. I would maybe reach out to their counselor or manager first. See if they can talk to the staff about any underlying issues (whether its personal or work related)
I find it helps to explain the “why” of doing what you’re asking them to do, rather than just providing instructions or showing a walk through. Honestly it’s hard to say what the issue is here. There are staff that don’t catch on easily...and there are also staff and seniors who aren’t good at coaching/training others. Tax is difficult to both learn and teach. I would try to identify very specific items that they are struggling with, and consider telling someone higher up to come up with a game plan for training the person.
Discuss with the staff’s coach. If they work with other people these issues may already be known. If not, a change may help both of you - some people just don’t click. It’s not necessarily an indictment on either of you.
Do you work for PwC? Have you tried using Delivery Maps?
If they are all having the same struggles, maybe you are the problem.
It’s one staff. The others I work with do just fine
Speak with your manager, it’s not always the senior fault. Tons of staff of staff hide behind scared seniors. If this staff is truly not getting it, you’re probably not the only one dealing with it. Bring it up to your manager and let them take it from there. I encourage my seniors to talk to me about the staff they work it. There’s no reason to burn a senior out to save a non performing staff who will turn into a terrible senior.
Have you set expectations that they should be catching on to review comments and that they should not be making the same mistake twice? I’d also provide resources so they could learn more about their mistakes if necessary. New staff will need a lot of coaching, not just walking through something and hoping for the best.
In case it wasn’t clear, I am the one helping the new staff, not the new staff.
Do you just talk through the steps or do you send steps in an email? At the end of the day after you’ve helped them, do they eventually produce a good product at the end?
Thanks!
why can’t you help someone in less than an hour. I’d reexamine your teaching tactics
