The main purpose of Employee Orientation is to facilitate a process of smooth integration of new employees into the existing organization. Furthermore, this process plays an important part in reducing the tension and anxiety of new employees during their initial working period.

Apart from generating tension and anxiety, the job changing process may also be accompanied by a move to a new location, change of social environment, and possibly high expectations about the new job. It is essential therefore that management understands the needs and expectations of New Employees and assist them in coping with new working conditions.
