New hire orientation

No matter what type of job the new hire is tasked to perform, the new hire should receive some type of orientation. Some type of orientation is best management practice even if your new hire is a temporary worker who is expected to do routine clerical work and/or answer the phone. 

The type and length of the orientation that a new hire should receive should be performance oriented. That is, the orientation that the new hire receives should depend, to a certain extent, on the type of job that the new hire will be expected to perform. Everyone should be oriented regarding the workplace logistics or layout. Depending on the circumstances, the orientation could include the proverbial nickel, dime, quarter, or more tour. These circumstances usually consist of the work tasks that the new hire will be expected to perform. 

Consider Maslow s hierarchy of needs. The orientation must include information that includes taking care of the worker s basic needs. Someone needs to ensure that the new hire is shown the location of the men s or ladies room, the lunchroom, the vending area, the parking area, and other areas of common interest. Emergency procedures and details about how to use the phone and summon emergency responders should also be provided. The new hire should be introduced to co-workers as the tour is taken. 

These points are valid whether we are dealing with the janitor or the CEO.
