Orientation program

Orientation program is a series of activities that gives the new employees information to help them adapt to the organization and their new jobs. Its purpose is to turn "them" (new employees) and "us" (the company) into "we".

The orientation program familiarizes the employee with the duties and benefits of employment. The employee receives an overview of the compnany — its history, products and services, organization structure and important rules, policies, and procedures. The employee also completes appropriate paperwork, receives nedeedpasses, has benefits explained, and reviews the job description. Finally, a sound orientation program provides the opportunity for the employee to meet co-workers, spend time with the immediate supervisor, and become familiar with the new work environment. The result: the new employee feels more secure and settled.
