Employee Orientation Program

Guidelines For Effective New Employee Orientation

Employee orientation, as an integral part of Government’s human resource development strategy, provides employees with the information necessary to begin or continue a successful career in the Newfoundland and Labrador Public Service. Employee orientation promotes a broad understanding of Government as a public institution. The process contains a consistent message about work in the Public Service and the basic expectations of Government as an employer.

Employees who are new to the job require essential information related to their work and their work environment. Within a reasonable time following their appointment, employees require orientation to their duties, work environment and terms and conditions of employment. The end result should be a solid foundation for a successful, long-term working relationship between employer and employee.
