Read the following scenario and then answer the question that follows.
Thando started a new job at a software development firm last month. On her
first day, she received a brief orientation session that covered the basics of the
company’s policies and procedures, but she did not receive any guidance on her
role or how to work with her team effectively. In the following weeks, Thando
struggled to adapt to her new job, as she felt isolated from her colleagues and
uncertain about her responsibilities. She also had limited access to resources
and support systems that could help her succeed in her role. Thando’s
experience highlights the common problem of organisations only focusing on
orientation and neglecting the importance of onboarding. Due to time
constraints, a lack of proper planning, and the lack of systems to support
onboarding, many organisations fail to provide new employees with the
necessary resources and support to succeed in their roles. Furthermore,
organisations often see onboarding as being the same as orientation, which
leads to a lack of investment in this critical process.
Why do organisations often neglect the onboarding process and focus only on
orientation? Use the scenario as a reference to answer this question.
Select one:
a lack of time and resources
a lack of proper planning
a lack of support systems for onboarding
All of the above.
