At no other time is there a better opportunity to open lines of communication with new hires. They are free from the distortions of peer groups, they have not yet formed strong opinions about the job, company, or boss, and they are generally eager to please. Please identify any training and development needs for new employees at your organization. Include information from the textbook such as the objectives of an orientation program. Present a protocol for introducing orientees to the physical facilities and the people they will work with. You may also want to include a section in the orientation training to encourage feedback from trainees to improve the orientation program and to ensure that what is programmed is being carried out to their satisfaction. Make sure to include any and all information that needs to be addressed in a new-hire orientation (Ch. 10 in the textbook "Umiker's management skills for the new healthcare supervisor").
