PROCESS OF TRAINING

Orientation
Introduction to the job and the organization is called orientation. There are two types of orientation. Work unit orientation familiarizes the employee with the goal of the work unit, clarifies how his or her job contributes to the unit’s goals, and includes an introduction to his or her new co-workers. Organizational orientation informs the new employee about the organization’s objectives, history, philosophy, procedures, and rules. This should include relevant human resource policies and benefits such as work hours, pay procedures, over time requirements, and fringe benefits. In addition, a tour of the organization’s work facilities is often part of the organization orientation.
HR Managers have an obligation to make the integration of the new employees into the organization as smooth and as free of anxiety as possible. They need to openly discuss employee beliefs regarding mutual obligations of the organization and the new employees to get the person up and running in the job as soon as possible. Successful orientation, whether formal or informal, results in an outsider-insider transaction that makes the new member feel comfortable and finally well adjusted, lowers the likelihood of poor work performance, and reduces the probability of a surprise resignation by the new employee only a week or two into the job
