Employee induction
Employee induction introduces a new employee to the organisation, the role and the people, information and working arrangements needed to begin effectively. It can cover objectives, responsibilities, policies, systems, safety, support and expectations, with follow-up as the person gains experience. A structured process helps the employee understand how the role contributes and where to obtain help.
Worked example
A new accounts assistant meets the team, learns approval and security procedures, practises using the accounting system and agrees initial objectives with the supervisor. A follow-up meeting checks understanding and identifies further support.
Common mistake
An induction is not completed merely by issuing a handbook or delivering all information on the first morning. Distinguish employee induction from the specific governance needs of directors.
