Welcome to our Business Communication Club session on “Conducting an Orientation Session for New Employees: Communication and Talent Acquisition.” In this session, we’ll focus on the crucial role of effective communication in welcoming and integrating new employees into an organisation. We will practice idioms we use during meetings and we will gain practice while using typical business English expressions.
All this to practice speaking in English, increase confidence and fluency and gain practical experience before facing a similar challenge at work.
