All of the following are goals of the orientation process EXCEPT ________

A) reduce anxiety
B) familiarize the employee with the job
C) introduce the employee to his or her coworkers
D) discuss payments and benefits

Answer: D
Explanation: The major goals of orientation are to reduce anxiety and familiarize the employee with his or her new job, making those choices incorrect responses. In addition, orientation allows the new employee to meet the members of his or her work unit, eliminating "introduce the employee to his or her coworkers" as a correct choice. Orientation is not a time in which compensation is discussed–that is usually taken care of during the hiring process. This means that "discuss payments and benefits" is the only choice that is not a goal of the orientation process, so it is the correct response for this question.
