Employee Orientation Guidelines -
Statewide Employee Orientation Model

An effective employee orientation provides new employees a first look at the working environment within the State of Michigan, and can go a long way toward developing positive motivation, productivity, and retention of new employees.

All human resource offices and agency supervisors should utilize this model to assist in conducting an effective employee orientation program. The benefit will be the firm foundation for a successful, long-term working relationship. The model serves a dual purpose:

To provide a guide to ensure that all new employees receive consistent and essential information regarding State of Michigan rules, regulations, and benefits, along with the department’s mission, vision, and work rules.
To provide human resource offices and agency supervisors with additional suggestions that may be appropriately utilized to enhance the employee orientation process.

The employee orientation model being provided herein includes the following:

Introduction—Statewide Employee Orientation Model
Pre-Employment Guidelines for Human Resource Offices and/or Supervisors
Welcome Letters (examples)
Hire Checklist (Essential information that must be provided)
Manager/Supervisor Information
Buddy Information
Dress Codes (examples)
Resources
Employee Orientation Survey (example)
Best Practices (examples)
Brochure: Working for Michigan, A Guide to State Agencies and Their Job Opportunities

It’s important to remember that an effective employee orientation program is an ongoing process. It takes time for a new employee to assimilate all of the information that has been provided. Incorporating an "employee call back" session within three to six months of the hire date provides an opportunity for the new employee to ask additional questions and seek clarification on information.
