Orientation is the most common type of employee training. It’s a one-time event formally welcoming and introducing new hires to your company within their first week on the job. This training tends to be relevant to all company-wide roles and departments.
Orientation trainings are usually prepared by HR on big-picture topics such as:
- Company mission, vision, and values
- Corporate culture
- Organizational structure and leadership team intro
- Mandatory new-hire paperwork
- Overview of benefit plans
- Administrative procedures (computer logins, extension, email setups, etc.)
- Key corporate policies
