What is the purpose of induction?
The purpose of induction is to ensure the effective integration of a new employee into the workplace. As well as the usual orientation, a new starter needs to understand the business, where their role sits within the set-up and what’s expected of them, as well as being quite clear regarding their terms and conditions of employment. A good induction programme should leave no room for confusion or lack of understanding and should, therefore, induce a feeling of ‘belonging’. The employee should then integrate well into the team, have high morale, achieve optimum productivity and therefore be able to work to full potential. In other words – obtain job satisfaction!.
