Induction training

Induction training is a type of training given as an initial preparation upon taking up a post. Its goal is to help new employees reach the level of performance expected from an experienced worker. It often contains information dealing with the layout of the firm's operating facility, health and safety measures and security systems. An attempt may also be made to introduce the individual to key employees and give an impression of the culture of the organisation. and its to help people to progress their work.

This training is done systematically and is often the responsibility of the immediate supervisor to make sure that its done smoothly. Carefully done it will save time and costs(in terms of faulty products or poor services, etc). It is imperative that managers place their authority and power to make sure that e new employee is carefully helped to adjust to new work surroundings and culture.

Just as in schools, sometimes the work place may have "bullys", who may give the new employee the wrong impression of the company or organization.
