The Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) requires new employees to attend a new employee orientation training program within their first year of employment. The current training program was implemented over two years ago. The DQA wanted to determine if the training program was meeting the needs of new employees and if the training program was helping new employees transition into their roles. A study was conducted to determine if the training program was aiding new employees in their transition and whether when they completed the training had an effect on how valuable the training was for the new employee. The results of the study determined that the training program was aiding employees in their transition. It also indicated that there were several modules that new employees would like to have available sooner in their employment.

While New Employee Orientation (NEO) programs have been shown to socialize newcomers and increase their knowledge, skills, and abilities, there has been little research on the way to go about developing an effective orientation program. This book is meant to explore ways to effectively develop a NEO program that both properly socializes and technically trains new employees. Findings show that a well developed NEO can enhance a newcomer's experience throughout their career and it contributes to the overall bottom line of an organization. A great deal of time and money is spent every year socializing and technically training employees, making sure this investment is well spent should be a central concern.

There have been a number of professional and academic studies, in multiple industries, linking employee attitudes and behaviors with the value customers perceive in their experiences. Through targeted research, and resultant training, communication, process, and reward and recognition programs, what we define as ambassadorship formalizes the direction in which employee engagement has been trending toward for years. Simply, the trend is optimizing employee commitment to the organization and its goals, to the company’s unique value proposition, and to the customer. This is employee ambassadorship, a state beyond satisfaction and engagement where all employees are focused on, and tasked with, delivering customer value as part of their job description, irrespective of location, function or level. There is growing general agreement that both developing employee ambassadors and customer advocates should receive high priority and emphasis if an enterprise is going to be successful. What building ambassadorship does mandate, however, is that having employees focus on the customer will definitely drive more positive experiences and stronger loyalty behavior (for both stakeholder groups). Because antecedent approaches to employee engagement (through research and application) are principally about productivity and alignment, and offer an organization only modest insight about level or degree of customer-centricity, more connection between employee behavior and customer behavior builds focus, effectiveness, and profitability. That is what the content/scope of Employee Ambassadorship will help provide.
