Development of an effective new employee orientation program

Abstract

The Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) requires new employees to attend a new employee orientation training program within their first year of employment. The current training program was implemented over two years ago. The DQA wanted to determine if the training program was meeting the needs of new employees and if the training program was helping new employees transition into their roles. A study was conducted to determine if the training program was aiding new employees in their transition and whether when they completed the training had an effect on how valuable the training was for the new employee. The results of the study determined that the training program was aiding employees in their transition. It also indicated that there were several modules that new employees would like to have available sooner in their employment.
