Abstract
Some companies do little more for the new employee than to explain who the boss is and where the restroom is located. Since every new employee will be “filled-in” on the company by somebody, management should see that this orientation is directed by somebody knowledgeable. Orientation should include:
-
Description of the industry.
-
History of the company.
-
Unique advantages of the company and its industry.
-
Information about company management and ownership.
-
Identification of company customers and products handled.
-
Information about unions and labor agreements (if any).
-
Procedure for resolving problems or misunderstandings.
-
Location of restroom, lunch facilities, parking, time clock.
-
Details about pay and benefits.
-
Recommended work clothing.
-
Work and safety rules.
