What is an Employee Induction?
The first day on the job can be overwhelming for any new employee. There is a lot to learn and remember, and it can be difficult to hit the ground running. This is where employee induction comes in. An employee induction is the process of providing new employees with information about their job, the company, and their colleagues. It helps them to feel welcome and feel supported in their new role. An employee induction should cover a range of topics, including the company history, the company culture, the job role and health and safety expectations. An induction plan is a great opportunity to set the tone for a new starter’s time at the company and to ensure they feel welcomed and supported in their new role.
What is an Employee Induction Record?
An employee induction record is a document that includes all the information a new employee needs on health and safety, as well as understanding the company’s policies and procedures. The employee induction training record helps to ensure that employees are properly trained and aware of the company’s expectations. It can also help to identify any areas where an employee may need additional training. The induction record can be used to help the employee adjust to their new role and to help the employer assess the employee’s suitability for the position.
