recruits are taught how they could build good working relationships with the new people in the
organization. In some organizations induction is also termed as 'on boarding'. The induction
includes the process of the individual’s connection with the organization by understanding the ways
of working in the organization (Jakobsson, 2018). An organisation should always have a proper and
well-designed induction for the new employees, in order to give them a positive experience of the
organisation. The aim if induction is not only to introduce the employees to the organization but

knowledge management process and is design to help me employees become more useful for the

people, working as well as what is their role in the organization. That is why there is a need of an
effective and integrated elements in induction. These elements should consist of health and safety,

lawful operations and facilities related to work force welfare. The induction programme should also
be introducing the new employees how the company works (Nguyen, 2021). The programme

Managers can use the follow up process to see if the staff have efficiently integrated what additional

induction programs for the future full stop after the formal induction is done should you regular

People now recognise the value of employee brand as a part of induction process (Masoud, 2020).
Mainly the induction process depends on the size and the nature of the organisation and also the
role of The Recruit.
Induction should always include information about the systems and procedures used in the company

(Srivastava, 2020). This in shorts that all the new recruits are given a positive message by clearing
employee brand values and culture. This also enables the recruits to have good relationship with
their colleagues and help them to socialize with other people of organisation.
While induction process there is a need to avoid providing too much or two soon information which
will overwhelm the employees specially on the first day. There should be the HR sharing the
information to the new employees instead of manager. It is required to create an induction program
which generates the need of the job but not the overselling of the job. Creating an induction
program that only focuses over the administration and the job role will not reflect organisational
values and employee want feel Wanted.

policies protective clothing policy on smoking and also accident reporting. There should be the site
maps of the organisation provided and also along with that there should be a guided to of all the

procedures to the new hires offering precise knowledge new highest need to execute the jobs and
defining Expectations within the larger context of the companies’ goals objectives and over all
operation (Isaiah, 2019). New hires should be train on how to conduct their work safely and what to
