How to wait for data to be loaded from Firestore before running functions Angular

Question

Current situation:

I have a service that reads the data from Cloud Firestore from employee.service.ts:

getEmployeeList(orgID: string) {
    return this.firestore.collection('orgData').doc(orgID).collection('employeeList').snapshotChanges();
  }

I use this service to read the data in my component from component.ts:

export class ManageEmployeesComponent implements OnInit {
    newEmployee: FormGroup;
    Employees: Employee[];

    selectedOrganization: string;
  
    @Input() set selectOrg(org: string) {
      this.selectedOrganization = org;
      this.getEmployees();
      this.formsInit();
    }

    getEmployees() {
      this.employeeService.getEmployeeList(this.selectedOrganization).subscribe(data => {
        this.Employees = data.map(e => {
          return {
            id: e.payload.doc.id,
            ...e.payload.doc.data() as Employee
          };
        })
      });
    }

    formsInit() {
        //some reactive form stuff
    }
}

The problem:

Every time the selectOrg input gets set, it runs getEmployees and formsInit synchronously. The problem is that I need some of the data from getEmployees() to be completely loaded before I run formsInit().

Question

How do I rewrite this code so that formsInit waits for getEmployees to complete its async operations?

Edit 1:
The best I can think right now is to modify getEmployees() to accept an optional argument that is a function for it to run once the data is retrieved. Not sure how practical or clean that would be, though.

You could just call formsInit() from your getEmployees function like so:

export class ManageEmployeesComponent implements OnInit {
    newEmployee: FormGroup;
    Employees: Employee[];

    selectedOrganization: string;
  
    @Input() set selectOrg(org: string) {
      this.selectedOrganization = org;
      this.getEmployees();
    }

    getEmployees() {
      this.employeeService.getEmployeeList(this.selectedOrganization).subscribe(data => {
        this.Employees = data.map(e => {
          return {
            id: e.payload.doc.id,
            ...e.payload.doc.data() as Employee
          };
        });
        this.formsInit();
      });
    }

    formsInit() {
        //some reactive form stuff
    }
}
