Effectively Welcoming New Employees
Description
New employee orientation programs that inspire and motivate are instrumental in familiarizing new employees with the culture of the organization.

In this audioconference, the speakers discuss their efforts to create motivating and stimulating orientations and to design training programs aimed at meeting the needs of new employees during their first few months on the job.
