If you aren’t confident in your knowledge of one of the following subjects, go back to the relevant lesson in the course to give it a review.

• You should get paid if your New Hire Orientation is in regular business hours.
• Job orientation programs range from a single day to an entire week.
• You should include other resources such as maps, a list of nearby restaurants and coffee shops in your onboarding process.
• Your new hire orientation should reflect the culture of your organization.
• Most new hire orientations are followed with an assessment.
• If there is a long period of time between the offer and the start date, stay in regular communication with your employee.
• Shortly before the start date, send your new employee an email or letter that includes the following:

  • What to bring on the first day (to complete the I-9 and W-4 forms,)
  • Where to report and who to ask for upon arrival
  • Transportation and/or parking information
• A new Hire Checklist is your go-to list for the initial information new employees should receive.
