Hi all,
I basically wanted to know the difference between Training and Induction. I have worked on an Induction Manual and included normal stuff like company profile, leave details, company policies, dos and don'ts, etc. with the help of replies to my queries posted on this forum.
Now I just need guidance on the contents of the training manual.
Looking forward to replies.

Hi Priya,
Well, as per training, it depends upon the job profile. Like in some jobs, you require on-the-job training, and in some, you require off-the-job training. This also depends on the cadre. For freshers, you will try to teach them the current requirements first. So, first, see what your organization requires and then decide about the training manual, as the time period also depends on the job.

Hi,
In short, induction refers to the introduction of new employees to all departments, their activities, location, policies, rules, and regulations of the company, etc.
Training refers to giving training on their job profile or in the department an employee joined. If you want to prepare a manual on induction training, you may refer to the website called www.businessballs.com, where you can find a detailed list of induction training checklists. Take a printout and modify it according to your company, and elaborate on all the contents.

Hi Priyanka,
Induction means welcoming the new entrant into your organization, where you provide awareness about the company policy, job profile, and meeting the staff, among other things. Training, on the other hand, involves honing the skills of an individual, whether it be job-related skills or otherwise. Induction and training are both important aspects but differ in their focus. They are crucial in the context of Human Resource Development.

Thanks, all. A small doubt...
In my training manual, should I include:
- Why training is required?
- What kind of training is required and for whom?
- For example, if I talk about communication skills, do I have to write why, what, how for this?
What should be the contents of the training manual?

Hi Priyanka,
As far as I understand your query, find below the list that can be a part of the Manual:
1) A brief intro on your company's working technology areas.
2) The diversified technology platform on which your company works.
3) The purpose and scope of training.
4) The need for training, depending on the cadre and skill set.
5) A brief on the technology that is common across the organization.
6) If available, the expertise areas of various trainers in your company.
7) The futuristic view on the kind of projects coming in that any top management can identify.
8) This can also include various outsourcing opportunities for training programs if the specific area trainers are not available within your company.
Outside these are the specific project-oriented training that can be on-the-job or that can be provided a few days before the commencement of the projects.
These are some of the areas which I felt can be included.
Go through and let me know if this could help you and if any further info is required on the same.

hi priyanka, Induction is getting the employee introduced to the organization telling him/her about the do and dont etc and training is nothing but helping the employee perform his task better !
