Description

The purpose of my study is to evaluate the efficacy of face-to-face content delivery methods when orienting new employees into an organization. New employees go through the process of organizational socialization when they join an organization, which teaches them the norms and culture of an organization. When socialized well, employee retention is higher. Orientation programs allow for organizational socialization. Socialization is most effective when done face-to-face. Online content delivery methods have become increasingly popular, and some organizations are moving to an online orientation format. This is study aims to show that orientation programs should remain in a face-to-face content delivery method.
