Document Summary
Learning organization an organization skilled at creating, acquiring, and transferring knowledge and at modifying its behaviour to reflect new knowledge and insights. A comprehensive orientation program can lead to a reduction in turnover, increased morale, fewer instances of corrective discipline, and fewer employee grievances. Employee onboarding (orientation) provides new employees with basic background information about the employer and specific information that they need to perform their jobs satisfactorily. Socialization the ongoing process of instilling in all employees the prevailing attitudes, standards, values, and patterns of behaviour that are expected by the organization. Reality shock (cognitive dissonance) the state that results from the discrepancy between what the new employee expected from his or her new job and the realities of it: orientation helps clarify that. Orientation process is a long term process aimed at moulding desired behaviours and aligning values of the employee and the organization.
