Most companies doesn’t pay much attention to induction, as according to them, they have done their work by recruiting the right guy. Now it is responsibility of New Joinee to be professional. Meaning of professionalism, according to them, is start working immediately with maximum efficiency and figuring out everything on their own. But what about New Joinee’s anxiety, bias and confusion towards company? So can we have a new approach to Induction?  Why not?

1. INDUCTION
DO IT RIGHT
Abhijit Shete

2. When a new employee
joins an organisation, he
has a million things on his
mind.
The type of organisation,
the people, the methods of
doing work, the work
culture, how the
employees will take him,
how long will he take to
understand the work…
Leaving one organization is
painful by itself, adjusting
in another is even more
painful. An effective
induction is what it takes
to minimize this pain.
