Speed Read: Inductions
The success of your organisation depends on your people and how quickly you can get new staff and volunteers up and running happily at full capacity. To achieve this, you need to ensure your new starters understand your organisation and their role within it, and are able to integrate with their new colleagues.
This book shows you how to design a reliable, structured and repeatable induction process that works for both the new starter and your organisation. It explains what inductions are, why they are important, what makes a good induction, how to plan the process and what types of starter you may need to cater for. There are also tips to help lift your induction standards from good to excellent.
Who should buy this book?
The book is for everyone who has the responsibility for organising and carrying out inductions for employees and volunteers as well as for those on the management team who might have a part to play in the process. It will be of value whether you are a manager, an HR officer, a member of your leadership team or the CEO.
