Question

What is not a major purpose of orientation and socialization? Reducing employee turnover Reducing employee benefits Reducing stress and anxiety Reducing start-up costs

Answer 1

Answer:

B). Reducing employee benefits

Explanation:

Orientation and socialization programs primarily aim to make the new employees familiar to the organization, their role in the organization, the policies, rules, and to the other employees also. It helps the new employees to adapt easily to the new work environment, internalize the values, culture, and principles of the organization, build effective work relationships, etc.

As per the question, 'reducing the employee benefits' is not a major purpose of conducting orientation and socialization programs as it has no affiliation to it. These programs primarily aim to familiarize the new employees to the work culture which helps in reducing employee turnover(loss of talent due to an old employee leaving the organization and replaced by a new one), reducing the stress and grievances of the new employees, and reducing start-up costs as once the employees are familiar, they would yield maximum productivity in limited time. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
