I would like to know what is included in a new hire orientation or onboarding program. How does it help new employees adjust to the company, and what impact does it have on their performance and long-term retention?

It usually includes training sessions, paperwork completion, introductions to team members, and information about benefits and company procedures to help employees start their roles smoothly.
