They say “you never get a second chance to make a great first impression”, and this applies to a new employee’s “on-boarding” (aka orientation) experience.  A thoughtful, easy and impactful on-boarding process can reassure new hires that they are joining a “well run” company (of course, the inverse is true).  Beyond that, an effective on-boarding process can also help your new staff become productive faster (which managers appreciate, as do the newly hired individuals).
