New Employee Company Orientation Procedures
The first day on the job for new employees can be a stressful experience, as they have to begin learning their job, find their way around the facility and try to remember the names of their fellow employees. To lessen the anxiety, companies can establish an orientation process that covers general information about the company as well as specific elements that employees should learn about their positions and the benefits that may be available to them.

Determining where a new employee will be working should be at the top of the company's orientation procedures for new hires. This determination, which is made prior to the arrival of the new employee, can be made by the department supervisor or administrator. The location for the new employee should be set up with all the necessary tools he will need to perform his job, including basic office supplies and computer equipment, or trade-specific tools such as pliers, gloves or goggles.
First Day
-
Assign a fellow employee to meet the new hire in a predesignated location, such as the reception area or human resources office. The fellow employee will arrange for the new hire to receive a security badge or name tag, if needed. The fellow employee will then show the new employee around the facility to point out the location for breaks (if applicable), the lunch area or kitchen, restrooms, drinking fountain and other important areas at the workplace. At the conclusion of the tour, the new employee will be introduced to her supervisor.

Supervisor
-
The supervisor will outline the job responsibilities and expectations for the new employee, such as arriving on time, maintaining a clean work area, completing a daily timesheet, and communicating relevant issues. The supervisor may also arrange for the new employee to meet with other new hires and a representative from human resources to learn about company benefits and to complete paperwork such as tax forms or other required information.
