Placement refers to assigning specific jobs to selected candidates, including initial assignments for new employees as well as promotions, transfers, or demotions of current employees. It involves matching the qualifications of the candidate to the requirements of the job. Induction and orientation are processes used to familiarize new employees with an organization, introducing them to people, departments, work protocols, policies, and culture to help them transition and become productive members of the team. The goal is to reduce costs and improve job satisfaction, morale, and safety.
