New employee orientation is a necessary, if not exciting, aspect of landing that new job. Such orientations typically have two main phases -- a company-wide orientation and your job-specific orientation. The first is essential to learn about company structure and policies, your benefits and office operations. This level of orientation often is scheduled to accommodate a group of new employees and might occur well after your entry on the job. Your job-specific orientation typically begins as soon as you start a new job and generally takes the form of one-on-one training with a co-worker or supervisor. Be prepared to get as much information as possible from both types of orientation to help you rapidly become a productive member of your organization.
