Organizations like to ensure that the programs are efficient, effective and serve a purpose that meets organizational goals and objectives. A common organizational measurement to determine if a program is worthwhile is Return on Investment (ROI), a study could be conducted of new employees of those that attended the new employee orientation versus those that did not attend the employee orientation. A well thought out orientation program, whether it lasts one day or six months, will help not only in retention of employees, but also in productivity (Brown, 2014). This study could measure if there’s a correlation between the orientation and employee turnover, a work productivity measurement, or quality of work measurement.

The first phase was aimed at measuring the demographic details such as the age , marital status, education level, job experience and the salary amounts. The employee development was then measured through seven items which were derived from various articles. On a five-point scale, ranging from 1 to 5, (where 1= strongly disagree) and (5= strongly agree). Job rotation is operationalized as the perceptions of interests in these developments as well as the competences acquired from the job rotation. In another phase, job rotation was evaluated with 18 items retrieved from the past publications where all of the 18 items were consequently measured with a five-point scale similar to the one that was used for the employee development. In total, there were 25 items in the questionnaire and using the five-point Likert Scale. Just as the thumb rule stipulates, 1:5 ratio for every item, there should be 5 respondents (Schyns, & Von Collani, 2002). Therefore, since there were a total of 25 items the number of the workers that were given the questionnaire was 125. The study mainly dwelled on the past research and was tailored in relation to the objectives of the research question. Consequently, the study utilized the Statistical Package for Social Science
