Have you ever:
• Gone through a formal orientation program for a job you've held?
• Been asked to assist in the orientation of a new employee (either as a supervisor or as a coworker)?
• Given much thought to how new employees adjust or become socialized into a new organization?
• Started a new job, only to discover that what you were told about the job and organization didn't match the way things really were? If your answer to any of these questions was yes, what was the best, or worst, orientation experience you've ever had? Why? If you answered no to all these, what would you like to see in an orientation program?
