Management expectations and regulatory requirements often shape the structure and method of New Hire Orientation within an organization. By default, habit, or shear laziness we sequester our New Hires into training rooms where skilled and dedicated instructors force feed mind numbing information in marathon “learning” sessions.  Learn how two Utah companies broke this mindless cycle by asking the right questions and having the courage to act on the answers.
