Overview

Induction Training is designed to provide new staff with practical advice on the requirements of the job. It also provides an introduction to the working environment and the set-up of the employee within the organization. The process of induction training can also include the more informal aspects of work, such as organizational culture and helping to establish new working relationships.

Purpose

The main purpose of induction training is to integrate new employees into the company and its culture, as well as getting them accustomed to their new roles and working environments. Induction training should include information about Health and Safety at work, as well as employment terms and conditions, and details about the organization's history, its values, culture, vision and structure.

Some companies may have a formal process that lasts a few days, while others may prefer a more informal, on-the-job approach. The process usually includes an introduction to the company's policies, goals, culture and people. It may also include a tour of the premises, introductions to key staff, and an overview of the job role and expectations.

Benefits
