First, introduce a new employee to their supervisor and co-workers, and have them complete the necessary paperwork, including the W-4 form and the I-9 form. Next, offer the employee a formal or semi-formal orientation session. If you're hiring a number of people simultaneously, you can invite all new employees to attend one or two orientation sessions. The orientation should cover the following:

• An overall picture of your business and its goals
• The company's basic rules of conduct in the workplace
• An overview of benefits and compensation
• A tour of the workplace
• A description of how the new employee will fit into the business, that is going over the job description and explaining how the position ties in to the rest of the company (if you're doing a group orientation, you may want to meet with each employee separately to cover this issue)
