Good induction training ensures new starters are retained, and then settled in quickly and happily to a productive role. New employees also need to understand the organisation's mission, goals, values and philosophy; personnel practices, health and safety rules, and of course the job they're required to do, with clear methods, timescales and expectations. On the point of values and philosophy , induction training offers a wonderful early opportunity to establish clear foundations and expectations in terms of ethics, integrity, corporate social responsibility, and all the other converging concepts in this area that are the bedrock of all good modern responsible organisations.  

Induction training must include the following elements:

General training relating to the organisation, including values and philosophy as well as structure and history, etc.

Mandatory training relating to health and safety and other essential or legal areas.

Job training relating to the role that the new starter will be performing.

Training evaluation, entailing confirmation of understanding, and feedback about the quality and response to the training.
