a) Project Brief
• Project origins
The project of the revision of induction program is aimed to improve the process of the induction program as well as the content and activities of the program to make new comers gain useful knowledge to start off their work and get a proper welcome.

So, we can build and maintain a solid organizational culture. A strong, positive culture can increase employee morale and teamwork. The program also provides basic knowledge to perform jobs. Well-trained employees tend to feel more confident in performing their

1. Background

This is because there is no structure and procedure of the program; the induction was conducted by each department’s tradition.

The induction period reduces some of the stress that people encounter when starting a new job and as such it is an effective way to welcome new members of staff to your organisation. It introduces new members of staff to the existing staff, as well as being a time for existing staff to meet their new colleagues. It is also a time when you can identify the strengths of each new staff member, and the priorities for their future development.
It is useful to start with an WHS Induction Policy, a Procedure outlining how induction will be implemented within the organisation, and a Checklist for Managers/ Supervisors to use during the Induction Process.

Creating a strong and robust training program for the employees is essential to the success of the company. Training must be available for all employees through various delivery methods in order to meet the different learning styles and employee availability. In-person training will be provided with a certified facilitator along with a human resource representative. Materials will be provided in the form of training booklet available in print and electronic format. On-demand videos will be made available through the company portal. All training materials must be a part of new-employee orientation. Print media and on-demand videos must be maintained and updated in order to provide a refresher course to current employees.
Induction training is an introduction for new starters in order to enable them to do their work in a new job role within an organization.
Induction training is training given to new employees. The purpose of the induction training (which may be a few hours or a few days) is to help a new employee settle down quickly into the job by becoming familiar with the people, the surroundings, the job and the business. It is important to give a new employee a good impression on the first day of work. However, the induction programme should not end there. It is also important to have a systematic induction programme, spread out over several days, to cover all the aspects in the shortest effective time. The advantages of induction training are that they are cost-effective and to have the opportunity to learn whilst doing training alongside real colleagues. The disadvantages of induction
Of all the important tasks facing an organization today, many do not fully appreciate the need and value of a strong on-boarding program. Without the correct tools a new manger will spend the first 90 days attempting to figure out the organization, thereby causing a reduction in productivity and reduced profits. However, if an organization institutes a strong and effective program the new manager will be prepared for his role the transition will be smoother and the impact to the organization is reduced. Moreover, successes and failures of previous managers can be adequately addressed so the organization can move on a steady and predictable path. The use of an organized and well thought out process to indoctrinate a new leader
Overall an effective induction will improve staff retention rates as it can act as reinforcement that the employee has made the right choice in coming to work for the organisation. Ineffective inductions can lead to an employee getting off to a bad start and can create poor impressions and undo a lot of the good work which was done during the recruitment process. It can impact on how well an individual integrates into the team resulting in low team morale which could in turn affect team performance and productivity. Absenteeism levels can increase which again impact on the team and the Manager will spend more time addressing the issues. Ultimately an ineffective induction may result in the new employee leaving which has a number of implications on the organisation in terms of retention rates and
It allows the new employee to easily integrate into a new social environment and build new informal and formal relationships (Lynn University, n.d.). A strategic onboarding program focuses on the engagement of new employees to orient them to the job and the company. Alignment to corporate goals takes place during the process, along with the setting of proper expectations (Lamb, 2011). Great employers begin the onboarding process before new hires arrive on-site (Onboarding Secures Talent for the Long Run, 2007). During the final interview or at the time scheduled before the official start date, the HR manager will introduce team members to new consultants and complete the paperwork. New employees are usually eager to dive in on the first day, so bypassing administrative tasks and focusing on the work to be done will keep enthusiasm
Secondly, the organized training program should include some important parts such as plant operations, communication between managers and the union workers, teamwork, and management education. All the employees from foremen to managers should join the training program. After the organized training program, there must be a refresher training course every half or one year to make sure employees’ knowledge is the latest. In the process of training program, Ashley needs to collect feedback from the foremen and supervisors so that she
It is generally considered a good practice to communicate what form of performance management system your organization uses for its employees during the induction process. By the end of the induction process, the employee should be aware of their goals and objectives they need to achieve their role to ensure they are performing satisfactorily.
The process of induction in our organizations is poor and unsatisfactory which needs to change and for that we will amend the induction policy. It’s a huge project and it will require continuous input from different individuals for the best results.
An induction program need to introduce the employee to the business. A well-prepared induction program:
Induction training is the process by which individuals are introduced to a company or organisation and familiarised with the relevant policies, procedures, and goals which should provide the individual with a clear understanding of the organisations culture and expected behaviours. Induction training can be both formal such as a documented company process, and informal for example a line manager or colleague providing advice or opinions on customers or suppliers. The aim of induction training is to help an individual to settle down quickly in a new company or job role and can last from a few hours to weeks depending on the organisation.
