How Useful Is Induction Training To Business?

Induction training is very important to the successful integration of new employees into a business. A good induction process will integrate the new employee into the organisation and will deal with elements such as:

Company policies
health & safety
Locations
Company history
Company culture
The market in which the company operates
Competitor information

There are clear links between a successful induction programme and employee inclusion. Bodies such as CIPD offer useful information on creating a successful induction.

Many companies now offer online induction as a way of getting as many people as possible through induction programmes. The use of online and elearning for induction programmes also allows companies to deploy them across multiple locations to many employees relatively easily.

The use of induction is not just useful for new employees. It can be used for employees returning from maternity or long term leave. Induction is also successful for employees that are moving teams or departments within a business.
