It can also help to prevent performance problems in the future and contributes to staff feeling valued by their organisation. Objectives: At the end of the course participants will be able to: - Explain the importance of a structured induction programme which makes clear the role of the organisation, the department and the individual. - Design an effective induction programme which covers the key issues for the individual’s first day, weeks and months. - Plan a training session suitable to instruct an individual in a specific task within the programme which identifies who should carry out the training, how it will be delivered and how the effectiveness of the training will be evaluated. - Explain the importance of monitoring performance and giving feedback as part of the induction process. Who Should Attend? This course is aimed at all staff involved in the induction process from those who design and plan the programme to those who are involved in delivering it.
