STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO INDUCTION

• Step 1 - Before employee starts:
  
  Send the employee useful information about your organisation. Decide who will meet employee on day 1 and prepare workspace, passwords, clocking-in card, etc. Consider appointing a mentor or buddy.

  Don't make day 1 overwhelming with too much information. Tour offices / locations and introduce to key managers and colleagues. Cover health and safety requirements.

  Provide  detailed information about the organisation, how it works, values, facilities. Explain performance management processes and initial training requirements.
• Step 4 - First month:
  
  Check regularly that employee is settling in and if further training or coaching is needed. Give feedback on their performance to date.
• Step 5 - 3 months:
  
  Check employee's performance - successes and areas for improvement. Agree any additional support needs / training, etc.
• Step 6 - 6 months:
  
  Decide if employee has successfully completed probation or next steps. Share probation assessment and agree goals for next 6 months.
