ABSTRACT
Developing, implementing and maintaining an effective new employee orientation programme is not easy, especially when there are so many others involved. Line managers and supervisors are so busy with the day-to-day operation of their departments that they may be reluctant to devote the time necessary to plan and prepare for a new employee. They may need some additional tools to make it easier to fulfil their responsibilities in assimilating the new employee into the new work environment. This chapter includes sample checklists and memos that easily are adapted to each organization’s specific needs and circumstances. It also includes a follow-up participant survey to assess programme utility and results 90 days after the new employee orientation programmes.
