1. Why do employees need an Induction Programme? (1)
The impressions made when someone starts work for a new employer have a lasting impact on how they see their new employer.
It’s important that induction is not treated as a ‘tick box’ exercise, but is seen as a vital opportunity to introduce new employees to the culture and ways of working. All organisations need to invest time in inducting new employees to help them become productive more quickly, and to help prevent new recruits leaving within their first six months in the job.
If new employees do not feel well supported or welcome on arrival, never really understand the organisation itself, or their role in it, this may lead to:
Poor/slow integration into the team
Low morale for the new employee
Loss of productivity
Failure to work to their highest potential

In extreme cases, if the new employee leaves either through resignation or dismissal, early leaving can result in: 
Additional cost for recruiting a replacement
Wasted time for the inductor
Lowering of morale for the remaining staff – workloads increase
Having to repeat the unproductive learning curve of the leaver
Damage to the organisation’s reputation
