New Employee Orientation (First Day Process) for Masonry

The New Employee Orientation (First Day Process) workflow supports masonry contractors by creating a consistent method for welcoming and preparing new hires. It includes introductions, safety briefings, HR paperwork, and company policy reviews. By following this process, masonry companies reduce turnover, improve retention, and protect profitability. Clients benefit from crews that are trained and aligned from the start. Teams gain accountability through structured documentation. With this workflow in place, masonry contractors can strengthen credibility, improve efficiency, and deliver projects more reliably with employees who feel connected and prepared immediately.
