Planning an Induction Program: Where to Begin and How to Wrap It Up?

Hi, Vishu here, I need help regarding the preparation of the induction. How should I start the induction program and where should it end? Kindly assist me with this matter.

You could start with a brief introduction about the company, including the different departments (with pictures), vision, mission (very important), company organigram, discipline and conduct, and the different policies set up in your company.

End: Question Time

Tips: Try to make the induction friendly with pictures. Perhaps you could prepare a small video with music to captivate new employees.

You could also take them on a tour of the premises, including the common areas like the cafeteria, library, etc., to meet the people in HR and other key individuals in different divisions such as admin, payroll, etc.

Conducting an Effective Induction Program

Please start with an icebreaker round where you couple individual introductions with a three-word mission statement from each attendee. You can then gather one-word expectations from every attendee towards the program and list them on a chart for everyone to view.

Once you have a clearer view of the mindset through these keywords used by the participants, you will be able to conduct a better program. Towards the end of the program, match those words with what you have shared through the PowerPoint presentations, videos, and lectures.

Here's a discussion on conducting an induction program. I recommend reading it as you may gain a few more ideas from it. http://citehr.com#axzz1AdwEIAEG

One of the important things in an induction program is EHS, which stands for Environment, Occupational Health, and Safety Policy, along with employees' roles in fulfilling policy requirements.

As usual, the induction shall include the company's background, products, finances, career opportunities, ethical policies, vision, mission, welfare, etc.

Induction Program Preparation

The induction program is prepared at least one week prior to the candidate's joining date. The program commences with the HR department briefing the candidate on topics mentioned by Mr. Anurag Mishra. Subsequently, the candidate is introduced to colleagues for socializing and familiarization with facilities such as washrooms and dining areas.

Following this, the candidate receives detailed briefings from colleagues regarding their respective departments' roles and responsibilities. The duration of these sessions varies based on the department and the candidate's role. For instance, a Process Engineer would spend more time with the Manufacturing and Process Engineering team, while an R&D design engineer would focus on the design team.

Upon completing the induction program, the candidate must submit a report on their understanding of the various departments. This report is then reviewed by the candidate's Department Head to ensure comprehension. If any gaps are identified, additional explanations or departmental briefings are provided. Technical positions may undergo a knowledge and skill assessment after three months.
