At the former place, we did a 90 day follow up to see if everything was as expected and if the training was useful. You get a lot of good information out of the follow-up orientations plus the new employees feel like the company actually cares about them and their opinion. I love the follow-up orientation.

It is so important not only to welcome new employees during an orientation, it also lessens their anxiety because it gives them detailed information about how the company works from the inside. Up until that point, they only know what they have read, heard, or been told in the interview. I have also seen it happen many times that the "newbies" tend to bond in the orientation session and that bond can often carry over many years with the organization. Nice job! I agree with you Ben.
