Orientation Sample
This sample is a small portion of a comprehensive onboarding resource that is provided to new & lateral hires even before they arrive for their first day with the firm.

Forward-thinking firms are leveraging online orientations to expand the breadth and the experiences offered through their onboarding programs, and to further brand and solidify their firm as the “right choice” for the new hire. Many firms are beginning to use online orientations as a “pre-boarding” activity – engaging new hires well before their first day on the job – thus enabling the use of face time on the first day in a more engaging, productive, and inviting way to leave a more positive, lasting first impression of the firm.
Firms are covering a full range of topics online. While some firms have taken content from nearly every portion of orientation and placed it online, others are currently using the online portion to simply introduce the new hire to the firm. Any information that tends to be repetitive from one orientation session to the next is a prime candidate for an online approach. Similarly, any important information that is unlikely to be shared consistently from one in-person orientation session to another is also a strong candidate. At a minimum, most online orientation programs include video clips from the firm’s leadership – allowing the new hire an opportunity to be introduced to these individuals and hear directly from them, which is often difficult to arrange consistently in live orientation sessions. They also include overviews of firm policies, procedures, committees, departments, and other structural information and guidance, with direct links to supporting information on the firm’s intranet site. |
There Has GOT To Be A Better Way
Leveraging online orientations to expand the breadth and experiences offered through onboarding programs

On-demand Orientations are developed custom - just for you - and leverage any inputs you may have. This could be an audio or video recording of a live program or perhaps only a PowerPoint or PDF on a specific topic. Sometimes we receive just a collection of bullet points outlining the goals for the program. Whatever the input, we'll work to create an On-Demand Orientation for new hires or laterals that you can be proud of.
