ORIENTING THE EMPLOYEES           

Orientation or induction is the task of introducing the new worker to the organisation and its procedures, policies and rules. A typical formal orientation programme can last a day or less in most of the organisations. During this time, the new workers is provided with information regarding the company, its history, its present position, the advantage for which he is suitable, leave rules, rest periods, etc. Also covered are the more custom things a newcomer has to learn, like the location of the, break rooms, rest rooms, cafeteria, parking spaces, etc. In some of the organisations, all of this is done informally by connecting new employees to their seniors, who gives guidance on the above matters. Lectures, films, handbooks, groups, seminars are also provided to new worker so that they may settle down rapidly and resume the work.
