This is Surya pursuing MA (PM&IR) from TISS, Mumbai, India. i have got an assignment in one of the largest BPO to enrich the ongoing induction process so that inductional drop-outs of candidates can be minimized. The rate of induction drop-out is around 5-7%. so if u cd sends me some suggestions regarding adding value to the process keeping different elements of any process in ur mind like interactivity, motivation, effective communication etc.
do reply me with loads of suggestions... I have few things in mind like exploring ideas of adding some games into the process, putting one feedback mechanism after the process etc.

Individual vs overall perspective

There are two areas to consider:

impact on the individual – how the new employee feels about the induction program and whether it succeeded in helping him/her to assimilate into the organisation and quickly become productive

impact on the organisation – how the program affected organisational performance.

These two perspectives are discussed in detail below.

Impact on the individual

Various evaluation methods can be used to assess this:

interviewing the employee

formal and informal performance management

interviewing other participants, such as line managers, team leaders and trainers

questionnaires completed by the employee, and possibly other participants

questions included in general feedback tools, such as culture/climate surveys

exit interviews, if new employees leave.

Hopefully these 'structured' evaluation methods will be backed by an organisation culture that encourages and responds to constructive informal feedback from participants in the process as well.

All the above techniques are worth using, but performance management is probably the most important.

State the aims of the program, or section of it, eg to make new employees feel welcome, provide initial job training, understand structure and operations, etc, then ask for feedback on how well each aim was achieved.

Seek comments on length, clarity of content, depth/volume of content, individual presenters, use of media, time span, variety and level of interest.

Ask for suggested changes to any of these – for example were some sessions too long or short, irrelevant, 'over my head', etc.

Ask open-ended questions to encourage the employee to say why things were good or bad, and to suggest how they could be improved.

Ask employees to identify any issues that were relevant but not covered.

Seek feedback on each of the tools used, eg computer-based learning, videos, 'basic survival' information, back-up information/resources, tours.

To maintain credibility and reassure the employee, you need to follow up on any feedback received. For example, acknowledge the employee’s contribution and interview him/her to obtain more specific details.

Impact on the organisation

The following indicators of HR effectiveness can provide some assessment of induction programs if the data focuses on recently hired employees:

percentage who successfully complete their probationary periods and gain permanent employment

performance ratings of new employees

retention rates, eg percentage of employees who resign after less than 12 months employment

data such as OHS incidents, quality-related problems, customer feedback, etc relating to new employees.

Use these indicators with caution, however. They can also point to other problems unrelated to induction, such as bad recruitment, poor management, personality clashes, inadequate work resources, unrealistic expectations (from either the employee or the organisation) and problems affecting the individual employee. .

hey.Dr. prageetha,
what if candidates leaving the company after induction process and without giving any prior such intimation. as i have analysed data through collected working samples, i can understand that majority of them are leaving due to reasons of compensation structure, poor organization communication and negative feedback got from the internal/external sources about the company....... almost 85% have said that they are satisfied with the induction process as an overall rating. but they are still scopes to enrich it, so that those 15 % can become satisfied and in any case induction process would not become a factor of inductional drop-outs.
for ur information, in the organization induction process is an one day affair. so if u cd send me some suggestions regarding the ways by which the process can be enriched in terms of intercation and motivation, i wl be very thankful to u..
regards:
