An Organization's Number One Asset
An Article by Dinah Bailey, HR ByDESIGN
The continued progress of an organization depends greatly on the
effectiveness with which it develops its greatest asset –
its’ employees.
One of the greatest challenges organizations face is retaining
employees. The cost to replace one employee may be up to 50% of
that departing person’s salary. Employees must feel valued
and appreciated. They leave organizations for lack of career growth,
low morale, management issues, poor training and little or no recognition
of their accomplishments.
Retention strategies allow organizations to retain valuable employees
and can be used as a means to transform an organization’s
culture to a more desirable place to work.
Orientation Programs
Orientation Programs ensure all employees receive the same comprehensive
orientation to the organization and:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Provide guidelines and set goals
- Develop realistic job expectations
- Reduce costs by familiarizing the employee with their role
During orientation, the employee works with their manager to become
familiar with the organizational structure, coworkers, work area,
and other related activities such as parking, security procedures,
etc.
For an orientation program to be effective set timelines for review
within the first week then follow up at the end of the first month
and again before the three month probationary period expires. This
ensures the employee is on target to meet performance goals.

shape the next generation. Having co-op opportunities in schools
allows students the chance to gain practical experience and invaluable
insight into the importance of the world of work.
Co-operative education addresses the development of essential workplace
skills necessary for work, learning, and life. The program is based
on a partnership between the school and business/industry and involves
the participation of students, teachers and employers. Students
experience the practical aspects of the job, the demands of employment
