Employee Orientation

The employee orientation should make new workers feel welcomed to and informed about your organization. It should provide new workers with key information about your organization, roles and responsibilities, including their own, and introduce them to key team members and their supervisors.

The orientation process is one of the best opportunities employers have to ensure the creation of sound, healthy work relationships. Introduced at the proper pace, a sound orientation process helps new employees adjust to their new working environments and learn the job more quickly.

The objectives of the employee orientation are:

• To facilitate employees' social and professional introduction to the workplace
• To provide the employee access to information and to answer initial questions
• To enable the employee to become effective as quickly as possible
• To educate the employee on company standards and policies
• To introduce the employee to the corporate culture and values
• To ensure the employee understands the expectations of their position
