Continuing to the above case, the hiring committee made a job offer to Sharon Adams, and she
accepted. She will start her new job in three weeks. As IT department intern, you were asked to
set up an orientation for her, including meetings with human resources, users, and the IT team.
She also would go on a tour of the company, and confirm a security clearance. After thinking
about this, you come up with a suggested orientation schedule, as follows:
First, Sharon would meet with human resources to learn about company benefits and policies (3
hours). When that meeting is over, she could handle three tasks at once: she could tour the
company offices (4 hours), meet with users (3 hours), and work on the necessary paperwork (2
hours). After the tour and user meetings, she could meet with the IT managers (1 hour). Then,
after meeting the IT managers and with all the paperwork completed, she would meet with the
entire IT team for a brief introduction (1 hour).
