The CARE Welcome Package offers tools and resources for the new hire and can be tailored to meet the needs of each Country Office. A master copy of the package exists in the Welcome_Package folder in this toolkit.When you open the Welcome_Package folder, you will see the Microsoft PowerPoint file, CARE_Welcome_Package.pps, the linked Microsoft Word files, and the system files that are used to control the how these files work on a CD. When the files in this folder are copied to a CD-R the PowerPoint file will play automatically when the disc is placed in a CD drive. If the computer has autorun disabled and the PowerPoint file does not open, double-click CARE_Welcome_Package.pps. When you open the Welcome_Package folder you will see: CARE_Welcome_Package. pps This file is what the new hire will open to access the tools and resources. It is a PowerPoint presentation that has been saved as a “presentation show”. You can find both the show version and the original presentation in the Welcome_Package folder. Only the pps version should be copied to the student’s disc or USB Flash Drive. 2. Microsoft Word and PowerPoint Files The CARE_Welcome_Package.pps file has links to documents in the Welcome_Package folder. If you choose to deliver the Welcome Package in an electronic format (by USB or CD-R) then you will use the PowerPoint file and all the other files in the Welcome_Package folder. Instructions are provided in the Quick Reference section to copy the files to a CD or USB Flash Drive. If you prefer to deliver the orientation in a hard copy format, then you will only need to print the Word files in this folder.

  10. Step 2:Define the orientation process in your office and determine how you will implement the process Questions to Ask: What will your orientation process look like? Each office will do orientation differently and it is important that you define your process. When will you offer face-to-face orientation? How often will you offer it? When will the new hire receive the orientation materials? A suggested process can be found in the Orientation Process tools. How should the Welcome Package be delivered? Think about your audience. Will your new hires have access to a computer or printer? Or, will your new hires prefer to have orientation in the form of a paper guide? It is important to think about this before implementing. The CARE Welcome Package is designed to allow you to offer a copy on a CD Rom, USB or print out materials in a hard copy format. Who will be involved? The country director, managers, HR, and colleagues of the new hire all have a part in welcoming new employees.
