Managing a new employee induction

Induction is an important part of helping new employees settle into their roles and workplace, and line managers are key to making this a meaningful, engaging process. Effective induction significantly enhances employee retention and satisfaction, ensuring a positive start and fostering long-term success.

Use the Induction Guidance for Managers (.docx) to support you to establish a new employee in their role and to set them up for success in their probation period. The guidance includes tips to prepare an induction plan, meet a new employee for the first time, manage the first two weeks of an induction and support a new employee to become established in their role. An induction checklist for managers is also included within the guidance to ensure that you cover the key elements of what a new employee needs to know.
