Orientation
Many of us are aware that most large companies and organizations have some sort of orientation program in place for new hires. Some companies treat orientation as a chore and think that it is not nearly as important as the actual training of a job. The truth is, a large percentage of employee turnover is caused by an unsuccessful orientation program. The first impression of the company that you have just been hired to work for is crucial, and the last thing you would like to feel when you walk in the door is to be uncomfortable.
Make your employees feel as comfortable as possible!

So what difference does it make to have a good orientation program versus an unsuccessful one? There are many benefits that people do not realize are the outcome of a successful orientation program. Successful orientation can reduce the amount of employee turnover, lower anxiety, reduce grievances and develop clear job expectations. Not only can an orientation program develop clear job expectations, but it can ultimately improve overall job performance. If duties and expectations are demonstrated correctly during orientation it is more likely for the employee to do their job effective and efficiently.
According to "HumanNatureAtWork.com" research studies, with a good orentation plan, 69% of people will remain within the company for over 3 years. Ineffective orientation plans are more likely to see employee turnover as opposed to an effective plan. Below is a link to some detail on how orientation can affect an organization and why it is so important to invest in a good orientation plan.
