The objectives were thus, to investigate on the methodologies used for the orientation/induction programme, to examine the effects of orientation/induction on the employees' performance and to identify the factors affecting effective orientation/induction programme and proposing measures to curb them. The study ought to come up with some measures to improve the orientation/induction in private work organizations. Orientation is a technique by which a new employee is transformed when joining an organization and introduced to its practices, policies, purposes and performance expectations. A case study approach was used to collect data, which was used to uncover facts on how orientation/inducted is conducted and its effects on employees' performance. The unit of enquiry was St. Mary's International Academy. The findings of this study reveal that orientation/ induction was conducted but it had not been given due attention in the private sector. There is a lot of appreciation of improved performance of employees due to orientation. Methods used during the orientation process had positive influence over new employee's start up in the organization. In order to improve the orientation programme it was recommended that, for orientation process to be effective, must involve human resource and line departments' staff both of whom need to undergo training on how to conduct it. The methods used should be objective so as to bring the intended impact on private service organization's human resource capacity.
