After reading that case study answer the following questions

HR Manager Rebecca and HR Specialist Charlotte decided to discuss on-boarding process at their company -The Apple. Rebecca said, I know what it was like for me when I started at The Apple. I signed my offer from Alex, then I didnt hear anything from the company until my start day. When I arrived, I waited in the lobby for maybe half an hour before Alex had time to come and get me. He showed me around and introduced me to everyone who was at their desk, although I remember losing track of names after the fifth or sixth person. Then he dropped me off with you, and you had me sign a bunch of benefit and payroll forms. Eventually, I was kind of left alone in this office. I remember feeling a little lost. I remember asking you a lot of questions in the weeks that followed. But, still, it probably took me a month before I began to feel comfortable.
