Orientation Express Manager’s Guide

 A successful orientation is critical to your new employees’ success on the job. Here’s a self-study program your managers, team leaders and mentors to new employees can use to get new hires off to a great start, reduce anxiety, and create job satisfaction from day one.

Unlike most orientations, the manager takes an active role in this process. You’ll find the technique of self-directed learning paired with follow-up discussions with the manager stimulates the building of solid relationships unlike anything else. Use the program in a group or one-on-one. Either way, it’s the most efficient and effective way to engage new employees and ensure their success.

The Employee Workbook includes all the learning assignments, activities and self-check questions organized in three modules:

• Getting Started introduces the employee to the organization, benefits, pay system and critical policies and procedures
• Getting Knowledgeable focuses on the employee’s role and learning more about the organization
• Getting Connected explains long-range goals and strategic plans of the organization and how the employee can grow and develop in their roles

The Manager’s Guide contains instructions, prepared questions and other supporting documents to guide the manager in leading the follow-up discussions. It includes:

• The plan and overview for the complete orientation program
• Scheduling forms and completion checklists which can serve as the official record of the orientation training
• A learning path for each chapter, including the complete set of learning assignments and the learning objectives for that chapter
• A complete agenda for each meeting with the employee
• Instructions for how each learning assignment is to be completed

With Orientation Express, the next time a new hire arrives the self-study orientation can begin.
