During which process do human resources personnel typically inform new hires about company policies?

1. Job training

2. Orientation

3. Performance appraisal

4. Recruitment

The correct answer is: Orientation

The process during which human resources personnel typically inform new hires about company policies is called orientation. Orientation is designed to introduce new employees to the organization and its culture, goals, and policies, as well as provide essential information that helps them acclimate to their new role. In this process, HR covers various topics, including company rules, employee benefits, job expectations, and organizational structure, ensuring that new hires understand their responsibilities and the workplace environment. In contrast, job training focuses specifically on equipping employees with the skills and knowledge required for their specific roles but does not generally cover broader company policies. Performance appraisal is a review process to evaluate an employee's job performance and provide feedback, while recruitment involves attracting and selecting candidates for employment, which occurs before new hires are oriented.
