A new employee orientation, (sometimes referred to as employee on-boarding), introduces new employees to the Motiff Shop and their role. Beyond providing information about Motiff Shop's policies and procedures, an effective orientation should make the new employee feel comfortable, helping them to learn about their role and Motiff Shop's culture and values. 

Developing and facilitating a new employee takes times. Too often, busy workplaces forego a proper orientation in the hopes that new recruits will 'figure it out' as they get to work. But in fact, by taking the time to properly orient new hires, Motiff Shop will increase the employee's chances of being successful. This could increase employee retention which saves Motiff Shop time and money in recruitment in the long run. 

A good orientation will enable a new employee to be successful by:

• Reduce the anxiety of the employee
• Sharing the relevant organizational information and beginning a process of learning about company's mission and work
• Socializing the employee to the culture of the company, including values, behaviors, formal and informal practices, etc. 
• Building relationship between the new employee and colleagues, including managers and supervisors
