Document Summary
Socialization: the ongoing process of instilling the proper behaviors and attitudes that are expected of them by the organization. Reality shock: the difference between what the employee expected of the job, and the reality of it. Kind of like realized gain/loss in financial terms. Diverse workforce: new (diverse) employees should be aware of what reactions to expect from current employees and which ones are appropriate and which aren"t. Mergers and acquisitions: new employees should be informed about the merger in company history and any operational issues it could impose on their work. Union vs. non-union employees: need to informed if they are unionized or not and given a copy of the collective agreement. Multi-location organizations: employees need to be told which location does what. Problems with orientation programs: too much information in one day makes employees feel overwhelmed. Or: too little information is given and the employee is left confused.
