How to make the Induction programme effective?

Though there are certain common problems in induction, the effect of these problems can be resolved by observing the following guidelines.

1. Feed forward of the possible problems and solutions therefore.
2. A warm and friendly welcome will reduce the possible problems.
3. A phased induction programme would place the new employee at ease and learn slowly.
4. Periodical follow-up and filling the gaps in the information would reduce the problems.
5. Attaching a colleague to the new employee for a month would reduce the employee anxiety.
6. Providing written and documented information through video cassettes and computers would make the induction programme less loaded.
