Question 1
I) Orientation training
Orientation is the process that involves the introduction of newly hired employees to their
jobs, co-workers, the responsibilities, and the workplace (Wallace, 2013). The purpose of
orientation is to allow the new employee the opportunity of feeling comfortable with the new
team, to familiarize with the new departments, and roles within the college (Acevedo and
Yancey, 2011). The orientation training involves the process of ensuring the new employee has
the basic knowledge about the job he/she is hired to perform, satisfactorily.
Ii) Formal and informal orientation
Formal orientation is the properly planned and organized orientation program administered
before the new employee get to join his new work environment (Brown, 2014). The informal
orientation is the process whereby the newly hired employee directly joins the work environment
just after briefing about the job descriptions (Becker, 2010). The employee is always left to
personally get to know of the work environment and his/her new team.
iii) The elements of an effective orientation program
-Government laws compliance
The employees should ensure the new employers have mandatory documentation forms
required by law for any employer in the college. The document forms may include tax forms and
credit compliance forms (Klein et al., 2010)
-The college's mission, core values, vision and culture\

The college needs to emphasize on the college's core values, culture, mission and vision
during the process of orientation. Using proper ways of communication ensures the employee
comply and aligning themselves to the college's mandate. The face meeting with the college
management will enable the proper reinforcement of the college's culture and value (Lawson,
2015).
-The college's critical employment policies
Properly explain the laws and regulations used to govern and regulate the college. The
proper need to sign into policy documents governing the college to ensure compliance and in
case of violation, the punishment code found within the policy guideline book (France et al.,
2013). The policies required for compliance include an equal employment opportunity, medical
leave, confidential information, medical insurance benefits, and workplace violence.
Employees are informed on the mechanism and channels followed in reporting the defiance of
these policies. Further, the policy document needs to contain a phrase on the full compliance of
the policies, code of ethics and work-related conduct by all the employees.
-Formal introduction to the work team and the college facilities
The college should ensure new employees are introduced to all other workmates, supervisors
and management. These people are important since, during the process of work, the new
employee would likely interact with them, and know the roles each employee plays within the
college (William, 2010).
-Employee job duties and roles explanation

A thorough explanation of the new employee job description and mandate is a necessity
(Baver and Erdogan, 2011). The explanation should provide the job successes and failures,
measurement of the job performance, available learning materials and the importance of the job
description to the college.
-Documentation
Proving compliance and the documentation process is necessary to ensure law compliance,
protection of the employee in legal matters and proof that the job identity.
iv) Benefits of standardized formal orientation

within the college (Chiaburu and Marinova, 2015). The following points prove importance;
-The provision of accurate information to the new employee about the job and work
environment.
-Improvement of the employee's confidence and helps the employee in adapting fast into the job.
-Offering many contribution to an effective, efficient and productive workforce.
