How Can I Create an Effective Induction Program for Our I.T. Department?

Hi,

I am an I.T. and H.R. Assistant and I am required to prepare an induction program for the I.T. Department. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
HIRSI

Hi Hrishi,

You may prepare a PPT for the induction with the following points:

Introduction to the company.
Hierarchy and Divisions of the company.
The Timelines of the company (Each year with achievements and growth).
Introduction to Promoters and owners of the company.
Vision, Values, Mission Statement, Goals of the company.
HR Policy Overview.
Joining formalities, Exit Formalities, Performance appraisal systems (Overview of all).
Disciplinary codes, Non-Disclosure, and Conflict of Interest.

Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,

Thank you for your assistance, but we already include that in our induction program. I manage the IT department and have been tasked with creating a specific program for that department. I would appreciate any help you can provide regarding the topics that can be covered in the IT area.

Thank you,
HIRSI

An induction program for just the IT department will ideally cover a general induction of the department, which relates to the technology and tools used by the department and any products and applications they have developed or are in the process of developing. This should be brief and specific.

The other main topics are related to Information security and Quality Management systems followed in the company. You will need to seek the help of the IT technical head or lead who has been working in the company for a considerable amount of time. He/she may be able to provide in-depth information about the progress, plans/strategies of the department, and the aims and goals with which the department functions.

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for your comments - it really helps. I think I've got a head start now on where to begin from. Once I outline the goals, I should be able to put together something. Thanks again.

Cheers,
