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:

  1. Welcome and Introduction

    • Meet the team and key contacts.
    • Overview of the organisation's mission, values, and culture.

  2. Role-Specific Training

    • Explanation of job responsibilities.
    • Introduction to tools, systems, and workflows.

  3. Policies and Procedures

    • Health and safety guidelines.
    • HR policies (e.g., leave, dress code, working hours).
    • Code of conduct and confidentiality.

  4. Facilities Tour

    • Orientation around the workplace.
    • Emergency exits and first aid points.

  5. Administrative Setup

    • Setting up email, logins, and access to systems (if required).
    • Payroll and benefits information.

  6. 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.
