‍Why does my business need an Employee Induction Policy and Procedure?

An Employee Induction Policy and Procedure will assist your business to communicate clearly and effectively to new employees the business’s current values and mission statement, strategic priorities, significant policies and procedures, workstations or desk location, health and safety information and equipment, and other amenities and activities that are available to them.

Induction procedures can sometimes include online programs to complete, videos to watch, or orientation sessions for employees to attend so that employees are aware of what they need to do at the commencement of employment and this significantly assists management with the implementation and effective on-boarding of staff so that all areas are covered.

An effective Employee Induction Policy and Procedure will show that your business is committed to providing a high-functioning, welcoming, clear and communicative workplace and will assist you with helping your new employee feel at ease and properly inducted into the team. Having an induction policy can also demonstrate and inform your new employee what they can expect culturally and sets a standard for governance with your new employee.

We recommend you purchase and implement an Employee Induction Policy and Procedure into your business to streamline human resources processes and provide clear, easy-to-follow directions with regard to inducting new employees.
