One-on-One Q&A With Les and Julie
354
Question #1
I work in a small company with limited resources
- what hints and tips can you give me?
355
Question #2
I work in a very large company with a decentralized
management structure - how can I get buy-in for our program across
the board?
358
Question #3
We have a lot of widely-spread locations, some of
them with very few employees - how can we effectively orient them?
360
Question #4
I'm concerned our supervisors won't give support
to our orientation program - they really want our new employees
'in action' right from day one - what can I do?
362
Question #5
We have a number of cynics at management level who
will snipe at this initiative from the sidelines- how can I minimize
their negative effect on the program?
366
Question #6
I'm not a trainer, but it seems to be assumed that
I will design AND deliver the program - help...!
370
Question #7
Should our orientation program extend to senior management?
And what about mixing seniority levels in each class?
373
Question #8
Do I need a steering committee to help me design
and implement this program? If so, how do I go about selecting and
convening the members of the committee?
375
Question #9
My boss is asking me to put together a business case
showing the Return On Investment and a cost/benefit analysis of
running an orientation program. Where do I get the figures to produce
these analyses, and how do I interpret them?
381
Question #10
How can I get supervisors to release their staff
for a reasonable period of time? Right now I can't get agreement
to much more than an hour or so.
382
Question #11
Every time I even use the word 'Orientation' in talking
to my colleagues, it evokes negative connotations. Should I be calling
this training something else?
383
Question #12
I've heard a lot about the impact of 'Generation
X' and 'Generation Y' on the training landscape. We recruit a lot
of people in this demographic. Is there anything special I should
know about orienting these groups of people?
385
Question #13
We've just been part of a major acquisition. I want
to use our orientation program to bring the cultures of the two
companies together. What particular content do I need to include?
388
Question #14
We're a dotcom with a very anti-corporate culture.
However we're at the stage where we need some structure to
our orientation - how can I balance these two tensions?
393
Question #15
We had an orientation program before, but it fell
into disuse. How can I prevent this happening again?
