After the rapid turnover of experienced staff in Lapatria, which would be most helpful to ensure new staff functions effectively?

Promoting the creation of a working culture unique to the embassy that does not conflate with the overarching culture or policies is essential in fostering an environment where new staff can adapt and thrive. A distinct working culture can provide new employees with a clear sense of identity and purpose, which is particularly important during times of change, such as when experienced staff have recently left. This unique culture can help define expectations, guide behaviors, and establish norms that enhance efficiency and collaboration.

A unique working culture can also help to mitigate uncertainty and confusion among new staff by clearly articulating the values and practices that are specific to the embassy. It allows them to swiftly understand what is prioritized in their new environment, thereby easing the transition and promoting effective functioning.

In contrast, other options might focus on processes or frameworks that, while beneficial, may not address the immediate psychological and operational impact of transitioning into a new workplace. For example, while clear and measurable goals are important for overall direction, they might not be sufficient without the foundation of a strong and unique working culture.
