Induction into an organization

The organization’s culture is defined by the shared values among its employees. Whenever a new employee joins an organization not so much aware of the organization’s culture except little hearsay in the outside world, an effective induction is necessary to make the new employee familiar about the organization as well as to prevent that person from the cultural shock.

The induction also helps an organization in communicating clearly the work and the expectations to the new employees.  It also enables the new employees to communicate freely their expectations in terms of the career growth, work environment to the management.

As we say, ‘failing to plan is planning to fail’ so the efficient and effective organization will always plan even the minutest activity like induction. The planned induction yields the fruitful result else it is a futile exercise which involves resources of the organization and also incurs cost.

We being an organization focused on process and quality always prefer to plan first and then delve into any activity. So, we planned the induction well with a check-list and ensured that the check-list is strictly adhered to by the responsible authorities.

I want to leave this article on the thought that first impression may not be a last impression but it is a long-lasting impression.
