Through-out the following case study, there were many mistakes made by a new recruit at ABC, Inc. Due to the poor training he received, Carl Robins was inadequately prepared to do his job successfully, nor was he properly prepared to train others. He procrastinated until there wasn’t very long to get everything together for the new recruits’ orientation and didn’t take the chance to admit to his supervisor that he wasn’t ready for the deadline. In order to better understand the gravity of his situation, some background is needed. New recruit Carl had only been with ABC, Inc. for 6 months. During the month of April, he was able to hire 15 new employees for the supervisor of operations, Monica Carrolls. This would have cause most of administration to view him positively since he had not been with the company very long. Carl had scheduled the new employees’ orientation for June 15th with the hopes that they would start working by July. After a few weeks, Monica Carrolls called Carl on May 15th to see if …show more content…

Starting the timeliest process first allows Carl to start on the other tasks while the longest one is already in the works. Delegation would also come in handy for Carl in order for everything to come together. He would do this by having the employees work on completing all the required paperwork, and setting up their appointments with the company that does the drug screens. By giving the employees a deadline of the week before orientation, Carl would give enough time to ensure if any problems arise on the employees’ end, that he can find solutions without compromising his deadline. Carl would also delegate by having a printing service or designated person within the company get together the amount of orientation manuals that he needs.

    I challenge you to take a trip back in time to your very first job orientation. Do you remember what the orientation process was like? In this short story titled "Orientation" written by Daniel Orozco, he tells the story of someone who is attending their orientation for an office job. This story is told by the narrator who is also the person conducting the orientation. The person on the receiving end is not specified, so that leads me to assume that the narrator intended for the audience reading this story to feel as though they are apart of this story and as though the narrator is actually talking to them specifically. Personally, when reading this story, I imagined that I was the one who was taking a tour of the office because the author

    Daniel Orozco has won many awards for his short fiction. In his short story “Orientation” the narrator not only gives a tour of the office to the new employee, but the speaker also provides personal knowledge about all of the workers. Although the name of the narrator or the new employee is unknown, the narrator exposes all of the staff. It is difficult to tell if the information about the office and the employees are facts or stories that the person leading the orientation tells. The office staff in “Orientation” shares many similarities I can relate to with the people I come in contact with in High School.

    The short story “Orientation” by Daniel Orozco is a unique story. Orozco never introduces the narrator or the audience. The story appears to be, just as the title specifies, an orientation for a person entering a new job. The story, however, delves deep into the lives of several employees throughout the story. The lives of these employees and their interactions become the most important part of Orozco’s work and the main character that is being spoken to becomes an unimportant observer in an intricate atmosphere.

A savings of one and one- half to two times of a salary is estimated to have occurred in reducing nursing turnover (Friedman, Delaney, Schmidt, Quinn, & Macyk, 2013). During my first four to five years in my current post,. I noted there to be an increase in novice and advance nurses not staying very long.
