Ensuring new recruits are properly inducted can make a massive difference to a company's staff retention rates, Smart Manager argues in a recent post on how to hold onto employees.
The following tips for effective inductions are offered:
- Be welcoming - start off with an informal ice-breaker such as an induction breakfast
- Show and tell - ensure the company's organisational structure, chain of command, conflict resolution procedures and O&S obligations are outlined
- Buddy up - allocate a 'buddy' to all new staff to aid the ongoing induction process
- Prepare yourself - make sure telephone systems are explained, email addresses are made and all equipment is fully operational
