Hi Shruti,

Not sure if this will help you but I am including an outline of what we include in our employee orientation book.This is meant as a guide for managers to use when inducting new employees and for each section there is an employee sign off form which indicates the manager has reviewed this with the employee. While this may not be what you would anticipate using it might give you some ideas on what you would want to include.

Good Luck.

Jo

Hi Shruti,

Jev has covered some points.

Shruti, if you want to conduct an Induction for two days, you need to invest a lot of your time and the candidate's. Just kidding.

Here are some tips...

FIRST DAY OF INDUCTION

The general things that would be done at the Induction are handling the company's policies book to the new joiner, which also contains information about all the leaders of your organization, such as the CEO, CCO, Directors, and others. Then, filling out bank account forms, temporary ID cards, PF forms, etc. If you can manage it, it would easily cover half of the day. For the remaining part of the working day, take the employees to your cafeteria, gym, garden, swimming pool, playground, and show all the important areas of the organization. Make sure to spend at least 10-15 minutes at each spot explaining the rules and regulations for usage and the contact authority in case of any issues with food, gym, etc. This should successfully pass the first day.

SECOND DAY OF INDUCTION

Now, it is your turn to introduce the candidates to all the Heads of the organization like the CEO, Managers of all the branches, project leads, and the employees of the branch they are going to work. This may take more than half a day, as you need to check the availability of the leads for the introduction. Ensure you inform them in the morning, "Today, we are going to meet all the Department heads of our organization." For the remaining part of the day, make them feel at ease by conducting some indoor games like "Dumb Charades" or "First Word in Mind," and other activities.

So, here we have completed 2 successful days of induction.

Simply speaking, Shruti, it is all about presence of mind :)

Hope it works.

Regards,
Kiran.
