Employee Induction Policy and Procedure

Description

An Employee Induction Policy is best utilised when new employees begin work at your business.  It is beneficial for the new employee to go through an induction process to introduce them to their co-workers, the business, the business’ culture and expectations and to provide them with the necessary information to perform their duties and new role.

This Employee Induction Policy Template provides a comprehensive and fully functioning policy for your new and existing employees to understand your business’ rules and regulations pertaining to inducting staff.

Why does my business need an Induction Policy?

An Employee Induction Policy 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 Induction Policy 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 Induction Policy into your business to streamline human resources processes and provide clear, easy-to-follow directions with regards to inducting new employees.
