4. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 4 Employee learning and development is one of the most important aspects of work life. The process of learning and development starts with orientation and induction. The organization should develop and execute a dynamic orientation and induction policy to provide guidelines for onboarding new employees.
5. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 5 Orientation parameters will take the employee through: Organization framework and ownership. Vision, Mission, Values Functions (departments/units) Physical set up – amenities and recreation. Governance, rules and regulations. Safety and health issues Organization philosophy
6. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 6 Policies and standard operating procedures (SPOs) - (non-job specific). Labour legislation and information about compensation and benefits Occupational Safety and Health of workers and accident prevention issues Employee relations and workforce issues (rights, responsibilities)
7. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 7 An orientation program is a set of information designed by management to accord the new employee the opportunity to settle in her/his job as quickly and smoothly as far as possible. Recruiting highly qualified employees does not in itself guarantee effective performance of jobs until and unless the employee is shown what to do how to do it at the required standard.
8. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 8 Job-Specific Orientation Is a process that helps the employee understand: The job and its positioning in the structure. Job responsibilities, expectations, duties in relation to how it impacts overall organizational performance. Policies, guidelines, rules and regulations. Workplace layout, fire assembly areas and emergency exits. Knowing the co-workers and other people in the organization.
9. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 9 Job specific orientation is best conducted by the immediate supervisor, and/or manager. Often the orientation process will be ongoing, with supervisors and co-workers supplying coaching.
10. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 10 The introduction program should be introduced in a controlled way. A new employee can not absorb everything at once. Employee orientation would definitely make a significant difference in how quickly an employee can become more productive. The way a new employee is received has a long term impact on the employee’s performance.
11. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 11 Orientation should emphasize people as well as procedures, materials and equipment. Employees should have a chance to get to know people and their approaches and styles in both social and work settings. Buddy an employee to a more experienced person, but make sure the more experienced person wants to buddy up, and has requisite EQ and SQ.
17. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 13 Both orientation and induction provide necessary on-boarding processes that give the joining member direction, accommodation, assimilation and acceleration. It starts with receiving the new employee with a welcome letter. The welcome letter helps the new employee feel wanted and welcome.
18. 6th June '11 GMB 6070 - Session 5 14 Induction may stretch for several weeks, or even months. Leaving new employees to pick up things as they move along is an inefficient approach to induction - it costs the organization more time and money. Example of an induction program:
