A procedure for providing new employees with basic background information about the firm the job. Ongoing process of instilling in all employees the prevailing attitudes, standards, values, and patterns of behaviour that are expected by the organization. Discrepancy between what new employee expects from his/her new job and realities of it. Improve job performance: reduce turnover, reduce errors, develop clear expectations, organizational stability, reduce anxiety, reduce grievances, reduce need for discipline. Hr specialist explains corporate information follows up over time. Supervisor explains nature of the job introduction of colleagues, etc. Problems with orientation programs too much information in a short time too many forms to fill out little or no orientation provided: hr information too broad; supervisory information too detailed. Humza javed: meaningful material, maximize similarity of training to the job, motivate trainees.
