Most new employees arrive for the first day of work full of enthusiasm and excitement.
This initial interest can either be put to positive use or destroyed, depending on how it is nurtured. The primary goal of new employee orientation is to welcome the employee, provide needed information and access to resources, and create a positive first impression that will foster pride in the institution and in the employee's daily work. New employee orientation is not difficult and need not consume a large amount of time. In fact, when done properly, orientation will save time in the long run. A well-planned and executed orientation will result in fewer mistakes and a better understanding of what is expected.
