Orientation Program

Frenchie

I am in the process of revamping our Orientation Program. I was wondering if anyone out there had a good program they could share.

Gillian

Orientation programs are usually company specific so what you may need is some sort of program to advise about what should be included and what should not and how it should be put together and implemented. A very good handbook is Successful New Employee Orientation by Jean Barbazette, available through Jossey-Bass/Pfeiffer 800-274-4434

Thanks Gillian. I'll check out the book.

If you want expert advice, you might try theHRedge, an HR consulting group that's run by the fine folks who bring you this website. They have consultants across the country, with at least one who specializes in orientation programs.

You might have noticed that the president of theHRedge, Margaret Morford, has answered lots of questions in this forum. She's at 615-371-8200.
