Orientation

 What is Orientation?

Orientation can be defined as the planned introduction of new employees to their jobs, their colleagues, management and the organization. Also called orientation induction. It is designed to provide new employees with the information they need to work efficiently and effectively in the organization.

Orientation can be informal, where employees are introduced to colleagues as they do their jobs, or it can be formal and structured, lasting anywhere from a week to several month.(Dipayan, 2023)

What is Employee Orientation? Purpose, Problems

Purpose of Orientation,

Employers need to realize that orientation is not a nice gesture by the company. It serves as an important part of the recruitment and retention process.

(Doris M. , 2023)

To reduce startup costs:Proper orientation helps the employee get up to speed very quickly, thereby reducing costs associated with learning the job.

To reduce anxiety:Any employee experiences anxiety that can inhibit their ability to learn to work in a new, strange environment. A proper orientation helps reduce the anxiety of entering an unknown situation and provides guidelines for behavior and behavior so the employee does not have to experience the stress of guesswork.(Doris M. , 2023)

To reduce employee turnover:Employee turnover increases because employees feel disrespected or put in a position where they can't do their jobs. Orientation shows the employee that the company values them, and helps provide them with the tools they need to succeed on the job.(Doris M. , 2023)

To save time for the supervisor:Simply put, the better the initial orientation, the less time supervisors and co-workers need to spend teaching the employee.(Doris M. , 2023)

To develop realistic job expectations, positive attitudes and job satisfaction:It is important to learn about the company's values and attitudes and to know in advance what to expect from others. Although people can learn from experience, the main reasons orientation programs fail are that the program is not planned, the employee is unaware of the job requirements, and the employee is not welcoming.(Doris M. , 2023)

Employee orientation is important:Orientation offers many benefits, and you can use feedback to make your orientations even better.(Doris M. , 2023)

Understanding the power of process orientation.(Deecke, 2023)

The goal is to make processes more efficient and thereby increase the company's productivity and profitability. During this, attention is paid to the needs of the customers and efforts are made to assist them as quickly and efficiently as possible. Process orientation can be implemented in many different ways, but they all have the same goal to satisfy customers.(Deecke, 2023)

It can be easier to quickly complete products or services or turn ideas into reality. Thus, process orientation provides a clear competitive advantage over other firms in the industry.(Deecke, 2023)

conclusion

Orientation is a key to organisational success and places too much weight on intangible organisational culture and traditional principles and behaviours, a person's basic feelings or responses.In larger organisations, and for roles with greater responsibilities, the orientation process may involve time spent in multiple departments as well as specialised learning programs.
