When we talk about socializing, orienting, training, and developing employees, we refer to a process of helping new employees adapt to their organizations and work responsibilities. These programs are designed to help employees understand what working is about in the organization and help them become fully productive as soon as possible. In essence, it’s about learning the ropes! Research shows that when the socialization or onboarding process is done correctly, the results include higher employee job satisfaction, lower turnover, better performance, and lowered stress for new employees.
