Which training is for onboarding new hires with company history and policies?

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

Answer: (B)

Orientation is the onboarding step that introduces new employees to the company’s history, structure, policies, and culture, helping them understand how things work and where to find resources. This directly covers what new hires need to know about the organization at the start. Basic skills training focuses on fundamental abilities for performing tasks, not the company background. Skill development aims at building job-specific abilities after joining. Awareness training deals with general topics like safety, compliance, or ethics, not the organization's history or policies. So orientation best matches onboarding new hires with company history and policies.
