Dear Deshpande,

Can you tell me what the time period is for this induction? Will every department head give their presentation to new members?

Amol

Dear Amol,

This induction is normally planned by the HR department in my organization. Every new member in our organization will be in the HR department for 2 days for induction (basic rules and regulations) and procedures, and to complete joining formalities. Then he/she is sent to a particular department for technical information and guidance.

Hope this information is what you required.

For any further queries, please revert back.

Shailendra

Shailendra, rather than having it in such a complicated manner, prepare a schedule and mention who will take which session and the duration of each session led by each manager.

Dear Amol,

Unfortunately, I do not have any IT or HR policy-related material. I am working in a sales and service organization in Pune.

Regards,
Shailendra
