Which training is designed to onboard new employees with company policies?

• A. Orientation
• B. Awareness Training
• C. Skill Development
• D. Basic Skills Training

Answer: (A)

The main thing being tested is recognizing which type of training specifically introduces a new employee to the organization and its policies. Orientation is designed for this purpose: it serves as the initial step in onboarding, covering the company’s policies, procedures, culture, benefits, and administrative details so a new hire understands how the organization operates and what’s expected from them. Awareness training, on the other hand, aims to make people aware of particular topics like safety or security but doesn’t typically introduce the full set of company policies. Skill development focuses on building job-specific abilities after the initial onboarding, and basic skills training provides foundational capabilities not unique to the company’s policies. So orientation best fits the goal of onboarding new employees with company policies.
