What are the Costs and Benefits of an Effective Induction?
Effective induction has been found to: • Aid integration into the team and the organisation; • Clarify expectations about jobs and enable to feel secure about what they should be doing; • Increase productivity in employees; • Increase morale for both employees and the areas in which they work; • Help managers identify potential. Poor induction has been shown to result in: • People feeling isolated from the organisation; • Low morale – people become disillusioned with the job and your business; • Loss of productivity – people will take longer to learn the job and to become effective • Failure to work to highest potential; • Increased accident and injury rates; • Resignation. It is therefore in everybodys interest to get it right. If people are well supported with clear information they will quickly get up to speed and begin to make a real contribution to your business.
