5 Tips on Employee Orientation

Don’t ignore new-employee orientation. The first days on the job are a wonderful “teachable moment.”

Concentrate on showing a new employee how his or her work will contribute to the success of the company.

Help the new employee gain a complete understanding of your products or services and how your company differs from its competitors.

Make sure newcomers are introduced to all their co-workers.

School newcomers in the corporate culture. Make sure, for example, that they don’t mistake a casual dress code for a casual attitude toward work.
