relevant to our VMBP and desired traits of Holy Gardeners
Objectives:
1. To increase success with our hires;
2. To lessen misfits and bad infuence later on and introduce rotten apples
in the workplace
3. To make their transistion from that of being student or workers in other
companies uneventful and pleasant
4. To make new hires efficient and productive earlier

2. My own experience
1. The former officer at Region 1 did not like being given multiple
job despite being an officer
2. Her predecessor was more concerned about entitlement without
looking at her responsibility

to the new environment and doing away with alibis and littlest
of excuses to get things done

have scant attention to details, are not coachable, and cant synch
with our business; are in entitlement culture, lack hard work and
execution
