Eligazít

Eligazít is a Hungarian verb meaning to brief or orient someone by providing essential information about procedures, safety, roles, and next steps before an activity or assignment. The related noun eligazítás denotes the act or process of such briefing or orientation.

The term is used in various contexts, including military operations, workplace handovers, onboarding of new employees, field work, travel, and event organization. It emphasizes understanding and readiness rather than skill development.

A typical eligazítás covers the purpose and scope of the task, assigned responsibilities, routes or locations, safety instructions, contact points, the schedule, and contingencies. It may be delivered orally, in writing, or as a checklist, and can be formal or informal; in some cases it is recorded in a briefing log.

In practice, an effective eligazítás is concise, accurate, and tailored to the audience, ensuring participants understand what is expected and whom to contact for questions or help.
