-----------------------------

The first day of employment is typically a day of mixed emotions. Emotions like excitement for the new challenges and professional growth and apprehension surrounding the uncertainty of the new environment and meeting new people. To minimize the stress created by the uncertain aspects of the first day, keep in mind that the company will dedicate effort into planning an effective orientation, training modules, comprehensive tour and meetings with different key people. The goal is for the new employee to understand the company's culture and how the new role aligns within the organization's objectives and goals.
