Chapter 8

 presentation on the organization and supporting written information on their history, objectives, mission, organizational structure
 copy of the employees job description, explanation of the job responsibilities
 copy of the collective agreement
 information on training to be received
Changing the name of the orientation program to onboarding program is a wonderful idea.
Should Pierre and Jennifer be involved in the onboarding program to emphasize the importance of this process to their staff?

 providing basic information on hours,
 providing arrangements for the employee to get paid,
 providing a copy of collective agreement and health or other benefits programs.
