Include references in your answer

Answer 1

Employee orientation is important because it establishes a foundation for new employees. The 

importance of first impressions cannot be overstated because they serve as the foundation for 

everything that follows. Despite this, it is the most underappreciated function in many

 organizations. Without orientation, a new employee may feel uneasy in their new surroundings 

and take longer

 to attain their full potential.

Orientation is important because it:

Provides succinct and accurate information to the new employee to help him or her feel 

more at ease in the workplace;

Encourages employee confidence and assists new employees in adjusting to the job more quickly

Assists in the development of a more efficient and productive workforce;

Employee retention is improved; and

Encourages the supervisor and the new employee to communicate.
