Article Abstract:
Employee training sessions are a valuable opportunity for companies to point new workers in the right direction from the very beginning. Well designed employee orientations can reduce adjustment periods for new recruits, minimize turnover and lay the foundation for a long and successful career. Several suggestions for creative employee orientations and taking full advantage of them include conducting needs assessment, enlisting the participation of upper management and making company messages fun and memorable.
