10.2 OJT
In my opinion, orientation and training methods are very important and are also the heartbeat of a company. My grandfather had an old saying that goes like this “your business is as only as strong as its strongest employee.” I believe that he was exactly right.

I would instruct everyone at this point as to the next part of the orientation which would include the history of the company, the branches of the retail chain, and all of the mottos, philosophies, and stances of the chain. Now for this portion of the day, I would...
