- The Induction Program is the process by which a new employee learns about, and becomes part of the company. The program applies to all newly appointed employees with no exceptions. It provides the necessary information, resources and motivation to assist a new employee to adjust to the work environment as quickly as possible. It also shows that the company is committed to the new staff member.
- Beyond the training in skills and tasks required for their specific jobs, recently-hired employees need an induction to the policies, customs and expectations of the company as well as general regulations regarding Saudi Law. People are most open to learning in the first few days on the job, even the first few hours of the first day. This is the best opportunity to pass on a positive vision of the company’s culture and positioning it as “Best People, Best Place”.
- The role of a new employee’s supervisor in the induction process and development of the employee is very important. Induction Program if implemented effectively has the potential to reduce turnover, absenteeism and boost morale.
