ORIENTATION OF NEW STAFF

The H R D has recently decided to revive
a practice long used in The SungeiWay
Group - that of orienting new staff to the
Group. Three aims underlie the staff orien-
tation programme, viz:
• foster a better understanding among
new employees of their role in the
organization.
• provide an overview of the* nature,
functions and activities of the Group's
subsidiaries.
• provide an opportunity for new
employees to interact with their collea-
gues and meet with top management.
The need to re-introduce the staff
orientation programme was motivated by The PCM with the new staff at the orientation
