Employee orientations (onboarding) provides new employees with basic background information about the employer and specific information that they need to perform their jobs satisfactorily. It is part of the new-employee socialization process. Socialization is the ongoing process of instilling in all employees the prevailing attitudes, standards, values, and patterns of behaviour that are expected by the organization. Strong onboarding can speed up socialization and allow the employee to be productive asap.
