Elevating Induction and
Risk Assessment Procedures

Employee induction can go wrong

It's Monday Morning, you have to induct a new employee, your boss has asked for an urgent report, you haven't had the time to prepare for the new arrival and you have a customer complaining on the telephone. Does this sound familiar? These are the real issues facing today's managers.

Time pressure is extreme. Something has to suffer and Induction is often compromised.

Induction is repetitious and often boring, resulting in short cuts creeping into the procedure.

It is difficult to maintain a high level of education consistently, especially in multi site organisations.

The implications of a hurried, disorganised and unprepared induction should not be overlooked.

The induction process is the first and best opportunity to demonstrate the company's high standards and instil company pride in your new employees from the moment they start. Let us also remember that Health & Safety training is a legal requirement of the induction procedure that prepares the new employees for their work with you and should not be diluted.

The employee uses colleague's behaviour as a bench mark.

The employee may bring malpractices from former employment to your workplace.
