Every
newcomer to company should pass Employee Induction
program.
Normally, first day(s) are dedicated to employee induction program.
Employee Induction in it's nature is basic
overview of the company to newcomers, and represent a
first step of employee training. It does not go too
deeply into the matter of every department and every
position, but it has intention to bring big picture in
front of a newcomer.
|
Employee Induction
should last more than one day, usually 2-5 days.
Employee induction should always start with HR's welcome from the appointed
host from that department, who is responsible to guide
newcomer through department in order to introduce him to
the other.
|
This dedicated HR person is not spending all
time following newcomer through departments, but will be
at disposal, to escort him/her to the next department
during the Employee induction.
The
agenda of Employee Induction program is tailor made to each
position individually, so it is not necessary to cover
all departments. This is for several reasons, firstly,
Employee Induction would last for too long to visit every body.
Secondly, newcomer would be confused with all
information if he/she would have to visit each single
individual in the company.
It is recommended to have prepared default Employee
induction agendas per
position, per Department. This agenda can always be
slightly adjusted, as per need, but it represents a
strong tool that saves time and ease process of
induction.
All
Employee Induction
Program Agendas are based on Employee Induction
Matrix that represent graphic scheme of visits and time
spent during induction. Graphical example is below: |

Example
of a 3 Day Employee Induction For Salesman is:

Of
course, this is just example. In this specific
case the part of employee induction On the Route can be
longer, and even include Sales Manager for
Coaching. Anyway, employee induction program, as an
important part of Employee Training, can be
adjusted according the need of the position,
readiness of newcomer, readiness of coaches, etc.
|
After
Employee Induction the newcomer is "Ready" for his
job! Or is He/She? Of course the
learning/development process continues after employee induction, for a certain period of
time, during witch new employee receives various
trainings ranging from basic to advance.
