1 Induction
Induction Training - Is training which is provided to all new employees by the employer to assist the new employee in adjustment to their new job, tasks and to help them become familiar with their new role, and work environment and the people around them/people they will be working with. It gives the new employee a basic overview of the company and its services as well as their role in the environment. It also allows for the employer to establish with the new employee what is expected of them in terms of working hours, dress code, any policies and procedures to be adhered to, it is also an opportunity for the employee to establish what their entitlements are in regards to holidays, what the procedures are for requesting holidays etc.
Induction training clearly benefits the new employee as it allows them a good introduction to all aspects of their new role and what is expected of them, it also allows them to establish things like where the canteen is, where toilets are, break times, procedures for holiday requests, how to inform of absence (sickness) etc.
It is also beneficial to the employer as it allows them an opportunity early on to establish clear foundations and expectations, the company policies and organisational structure job, department and company goals and objectives.
