Effective induction programmes prevent poor integration, low morale, loss of productivity and overall failure to work at the employee's highest potential. In extreme cases, the employee leaves, either through resignation or dismissal which can lead to additional cost for recruiting a replacement, lowering of morale for the remaining staff, having to repeat the unproductive learning curve of the leaver and possibly damage to the company's reputation.
Steele HR Services can review or create effective inductions for all groups of employees eg. Directors, Senior Management, graduate trainees, people returning from career breaks, long-term absence or maternity/paternity leave, technical specialists, job sharers, temporary staff, contractors promoted staff, transferred staff as a result of merger/acquisition, homeworkers and remote workers. It is considered best practice to conduct a re-orientation programme as a result of a major restructure or organisational change. We can advise you on the most effective method ranging from a simple checklist with staff training to rolling out a comprehensive communication programme.
