To make that first impression is that all-important step that may have a bearing on staff retention. Many companies do not realize that employees size up an organisation during the first week of employment. A good and welcome start can make a huge difference in their feeling welcomed and in their performance. New employee orientation is an essential part of proper HR Management. It is also a shared responsibility between the HR Department and the new employee’s Supervisor. Therefore, it is vitally important that a proper Standard Operating Procedure be in placed. This workshop will assist its participants in implementing an Employee Orientation standard operating procedure.
