This document outlines an orientation process for new employees at a community blood bank. It discusses having both a general orientation that covers the overall organization as well as department-specific training. The general orientation lasts 1-2 days and covers topics like the mission, policies, safety protocols, and computer systems. Department-specific training then provides more technical instruction, demonstrations, and on-the-job training tailored to each position. Good manufacturing practices (cGMPs) must also be covered for all employees, with a 3-hour introductory session and annual reinforcement. The goal is to properly prepare new employees for their roles through this comprehensive orientation approach.
