Induction and orientation provides new employees with important information about the organization, their role, and expectations. The goals are to help new hires feel comfortable in their new environment and understand how their work contributes to organizational needs. An effective orientation program determines what information employees need, presents it clearly, and allows employees to ask questions. It covers topics such as company history, policies, employee benefits, job duties, and introduces new employees to coworkers and supervisors. The orientation process helps reduce anxiety for new employees as they transition into their new roles.
