This document discusses employee induction, which is a process used by companies to introduce new employees to their roles and the organization. It involves providing information about the company's mission, terms of employment, policies and procedures. The objectives are to help new employees settle in smoothly, understand their responsibilities, and integrate with existing staff. An effective induction program can reduce costs from attrition and lost productivity by clarifying expectations and acclimating new hires. Key elements include being interactive, tailored, well-structured and delivered. Both HR and local managers should be involved in the induction process.
