New-employee orientation covers the activities involved in introducing a new employee to the organization and to the individuals in his or her work unit. It expands on information received during the recruitment and selection stages and helps reduce the initial anxiety employees usually feel when beginning a new job.15 For example, an orientation program should familiarize the new member with the organizations objectives, history, philosophy, procedures, and rules; communicate relevant HRM policies such as work hours, pay procedures, overtime requirements, and company benefits; review the specific duties and responsibilities of the new member’s job; provide a tour of the organizations physical facilities; and introduce the employee to his or her manager and coworkers.
