One of the most important aspects of our work lives is a proper orientation. This first impression of a new work environment will have a tremendous impact on our attitudes and performance. Good managers know the value of a quality on-boarding (orientation) program. Please read this article about onboarding (Links to an external site.). As a class, please discuss your experiences with orientation to new employment, or even your respective academic programs. Please keep confidential the names of organizations and specific persons noted in your stories. You are welcome to include additional sources to support your work (the better postings will rely on additional sources).
