Staff Induction Policy

Principles

1.1 Our Vision is ‘Bounce Fitness is committed to expanding our role as a premier provider of wellness integrated services. Through the evolvement of an empowered employee culture and the creative

acquisition and use of resources, we will develop and implement comprehensive programmes and

services appealing to people of all ages’.

1.2 Achievement of the vision depends on recruiting, retaining and developing high quality staff. Integral to this objective is the need to provide a framework for the effective induction of newly appointed staff.

1.3 This policy outlines the broad principles that will govern our approach to the induction of staff and supports our Learning and Development Policy. It also provides guidance for managers to ensure that

new staff members are provided with effective support to ensure they can fully meet the requirements

of their job.

1.4 Implementation of the Staff Induction Policy will be reviewed by HR Services through periodic consultation with managers and staff, monitoring attendance at staff induction days and completion

of new staff induction checklists. Adjustments will be made, as appropriate, to reflect best practice,

staff feedback and any relevant legal requirements.

1.5 We regard effective planning for staff induction as being of prime importance. Bounce Fitness is a complex organisation and if new staff are to establish themselves quickly and effectively there is a

need to provide them with guidance, support and information in a planned and considered way.

1.6 It is recognised that where staff are provided with an appropriate and well planned induction programme they:

are more highly motivated

become effective quickly

are more likely to form an attachment with Bounce Fitness, pass probation and be retained

can extend their range of skills and knowledge, enabling them to be more adaptable

are less likely to waste Bounce Fitness resources and staff time

benefit from reduced levels of stress and anxiety

are more likely to receive an equal opportunity to be developed and supported

A framework has been established for the effective induction of new staff that will:

include a systematic assessment of initial training and development needs

encourage regular constructive performance reviews

ensure that induction, even when pursued on a largely informal basis, takes place in a systematic and planned way

operate on the basis of quality and good management practice

be cost effective

enhance our reputation as a good employer

1.7 Inadequate and poorly planned induction of new staff can contribute to staff underperforming or failure to retain new staff, in which a significant investment has been made.
