re: What's the best way to onboard new employees from a 50,000 foot view?

my last interface with an organization consultancy of this quality was fun. ?had to hire a thousand employees for a Middle East site with folks from Indonesia, Philippines, Egypt, Pakistan etc. ?Corporate hr required participation but could only send a 24 year old contractor. On our second flight from London to Saudi Arabia I coached him about the hazards of being perceived as a CIA agent in the countries we visited. At each recruitment stop I arranged to have a local [10 dollar fee] try to give him an envelope addressed to Langly Virginia. By the third stop he had totally disengaged from our recruitment effort. and was very supportive of any thing we did.
