Orientation helps new employees to get acquainted with the workplace, its operations and methods, their new co-workers, their work and the expectations for their work. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that each employee receives sufficient orientation. Remember that orientation is also necessary for employees who are returning to work after a long absence or whose work tasks are changing. Proper orientation fosters a good work ability.
On this page, we have compiled materials concerning employee orientation in the workplace.
When employees feel they have received sufficient orientation, it is reflected in their:
- integration into the work community
- skillful work performance
- perception of the meaningfulness of the work
- work satisfaction
- good work ability
