How to induct successfully

A systematic plan should be followed.

A check list of points to be included in induction

should be prepared.

An induction booklet should be provided.

Anyone who is promoted or transferred from one

job to another should also be inducted.

The aim should be to convey a clear picture of

the working of the organisation.

Problems OF ORIENTATION

1. Busy or Untrained supervisor

2. Too much information

3. Overloaded with paperwork

4. Given menial tasks

5. Employee thrown into action soon
