Carefully selecting employees doesn’t guarantee they’ll perform effectively. Even highpotential employees can’t do their jobs if they don’t know what to do or how to do it.
The purposes for an effective orientation program is to:
Make the new employee feel welcome and at home and part of the team.
Make sure the new employee has the basic information to function effectively,such as e-mail access, personnelpolicies and the like.
Help the new employee understand the organization in a broad sense.
Start the process of a person becoming socialized into the firm’s culture, values, and waysof doing things.
