Induction Training
A staff induction is the process of introducing a new employee to an organisation, its culture, policies, and their specific role. It's designed to help them settle in quickly and feel confident in their new position.
Key elements of a staff induction typically include:
-
Welcome and Introduction
- Meet the team and key contacts.
- Overview of the organisation's mission, values, and culture.
-
Role-Specific Training
- Explanation of job responsibilities.
- Introduction to tools, systems, and workflows.
-
Policies and Procedures
- Health and safety guidelines.
- HR policies (e.g., leave, dress code, working hours).
- Code of conduct and confidentiality.
-
Facilities Tour
- Orientation around the workplace.
- Emergency exits and first aid points.
-
Administrative Setup
- Setting up email, logins, and access to systems (if required).
- Payroll and benefits information.
-
Support and Development
- Assigning a mentor.
- Overview of training and development opportunities.
A well-structured induction helps new staff feel welcomed, reduces anxiety, and improves retention and productivity.
