Hi all, As someone who most often hires entry level, unskilled personnel I would like to address some standards and expectations for new employees that are NOT skill-specific in our orientation. For instance, I notice many new employees do not know how important it is that they are prompt, not excessively absent, able to follow directions, etc. Please share any other general concerns you have with new employees that are not specific task training. Thank you! |

1. not all new employees have researched or knows about the company, some just wants the job 1.1 it is important that they are oriented with 1.a company goals 1.b company vision and mission I attended one new employee orientation one day in our company and I have to say that learning and understanding the goals, mission and vision can really help you on the daily tasks that you have. |

I have experienced a great lack of long term vision in new entry level employees. They focus on short term goals, i.e., salary, workplace, less working hours etc. |

There's a reason why these people are fit only for entry-level unskilled jobs, and having the ability to see the big picture/view the long term isn't it.  I would give a "what's in it for them" theme to your orientation sessions. How will they benefit from being punctual? How will they benefit from following directions? |

Lately, we have exerperienced a lot of job jumpers. those new in the industry and just keeps on jumping to another job since there is another bigger offer for them out there. I agree that most of them don't really see the big picture and that some of them are just after ways to get rich faster or get better position faster. but, it's not really that easy to orient those kind of people, sometimes, some of them can only learn about it themselves. |
