Document Summary
Effective orientation can lead to: reduced turnover, increased morale, fewer needs of corrective discipline, fewer employee grievances, reduce number of workplace injuries. Employee orientation (onboarding): a procedure for providing new employees with basic background information about the firm and specific info about the job. Socialization: the ongoing process of instilling in all employees the prevailing attitudes, standards, values, and patterns of behaviour that are expected by the organization. If organization does not have diverse workforce, orienting employees of diverse backgrounds can be an issue: mergers and acquisitions (cid:173) employees hired into a newly merged company must get info about merger or acquisition, union vs. Non union employees (cid:173) new employees in unionized positions are given a copy of the collective agreement: multi location organizations (cid:173) explain where the other locations are. Too much information is provided in a short period of time, employee is overwhelmed little or no orientation is provided.
