Organizations need employees to be productive as soon as possible. New employee orientation programs often pack so much information into a short time that new employees can't remember it all. You not only want new hires to know about your company, you want them to be able to contribute immediately. New employee orientation usually happens in the first few days of employment. Although it may be quite good, it is a one time opportunity. Typically, the new employee completes the required paperwork and receives the critical HR information that they must have before starting to work.

Successful onboarding combines orientation with assimilation through social networking. This is critical because 33% of turnover occurs in the first 90 days of employment.

Michael O'Malley, author of the book Creating Commitment, states that there are two goals for new employee orientation: "These are: (1) to get people as socially and technically proficient as possible so they can be useful at work, and (2) to help them feel like part of the club."

New employee integration looks at how the new employee gets up to speed on all the aspects of their job. Most knowledge that is actually used and is useful is transferred by the stories people tell each other, by the trials and errors that occur as people develop skills and by inexperienced people watching those more experienced. Using creative solutions, ORIENTATION PASSPORT provides a process to make these connections so new hires can quickly do their job and become a contributing member of the team.

Employee Onboarding processes are valuable not only for new employees, but also employees affected by major organization change. You might be restructuring your organization internally because of a merger or acquisition. Once again, you have employees that need to be productive, but are in a new environment. ORIENTATION PASSPORT helps organizations identify the key changes in how work will be done and provides easy to use tools to integrate employees into the new workgroup, the new organizational structure, or the new company. Whether you are experiencing a period of growth or just want increased productivity, we provide solutions. Let ORIENTATION PASSPORT design the perfect solution for you.
