The relationship between newly recruited employees and senior employees plays a vital role in shaping organisational effectiveness, employee adjustment, and overall workplace harmony. In many organisations, differences in experience levels, communication styles, and expectations often create gaps that can either strengthen collaboration or lead to workplace friction. This study examines the nature of the relationship between new and senior employees and evaluates its influence on employee satisfaction, knowledge sharing, and team performance. The research adopts a descriptive and analytical approach, using primary data collected through structured questionnaires administered to employees in selected organisations. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis and correlation analysis are applied to interpret the data and identify patterns in workplace interactions. The findings indicate that positive support from senior employees, effective onboarding practices, and open communication significantly enhance the adjustment and performance of new employees. At the same time, the study identifies certain barriers, including hierarchical distance, limited interaction opportunities, and resistance to change, which occasionally weaken relationship quality. The study concludes that organisations must implement structured mentoring systems, encourage collaborative culture, and strengthen communication channels to bridge the experience gap between employees. These measures can improve employee integration, enhance job satisfaction, and ultimately contribute to sustained organisational productivity.
