| Orientation
of New Employees |
| |
Hiring
good employees is only half the job. Getting them started on the right foot
is at least as important for retention and long-term success. For too long,
many organizations have viewed the orientation program as a short even in
which new employees are explained the benefits and rules. Today, successful
organizations view new employee orientation as a critical process that is
essential for employee success and organizational success. |
