New Employee Orientation (First Day Process) for Plumbing
The New Employee Orientation (First Day Process) workflow helps plumbing contractors integrate new staff effectively. It covers welcoming introductions, jobsite safety briefings, HR paperwork, and an overview of company culture and responsibilities. By using this process, plumbing companies reduce turnover, protect profitability, and improve professionalism. Clients benefit from confidence that crews are aligned and reliable.
