Answer to Question 1

Answer: Orientation is the initial T&D effort for new employees that inform them about the company, the job, and the work group. A good orientation program is quite important because first impressions are often the most lasting. In fact, new employees usually decide whether or not to stay at a company within their first six months of employment. Orientation programs give organizations an opportunity to get the relationship off to a good start. Mentoring is an approach to advising, coaching, and nurturing, for creating a practical relationship to enhance individual career, personal, and professional growth and development. Mentors may be anywhere in the organization or even in another firm. Mentoring focuses on skills to develop protgs to perform to their highest potential, leading to career advancement. Mentors have the potential to help mentees discover their strengths and weaknesses, formulate a career path, set goals, manage stress, and balance work and personal obligations.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
