Hi:
Greetings from Canada! FYI, there's a Yahoo! discussion group on the topic of NEOP (New Employee Orientation) which has been around for about 5 years. You might want to join this group and pick the brains of the members.
I believe that you need to focus on the needs of the joinees when you create onboarding/orientation programs. The goal of both the new employee and the company is to get the new person integrated in the organization and fully productive as quickly as possible with a minimum of stress and disruption to the organization.
I think a specialized NEOP website for the organization's intranet is a great way to provide the employee with needed information, contacts, rules, customs, hot buttons -- anything he/she might need to be quickly integrated....
Here's a checklist of "stuff" I go through when I'm helping an organization think about New Employee Orientation...... [ This list isn't pretty. I've attached an MSN Word document in outline format...] This works well to help organizations think out and talk out their strategy to get new hires onboard as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Hi Sonali,
Great. You have got good inputs from the members of the group. And what you have planned finally is also great. On the same lines sharing what I do in my Organization as part of INDUCTION for new joinees.
The Induction Programme is divide into 3 days covering the following:
1. Ice Breaking Session by the MD - he gives a brief about the company. When it started, Company's Vision, present scene and future goals.
2. Different sessions by other Directors briefing the new joinees about their respective departments. Such as - a session by Director-Sales, Director-Development, Director-Technology.
3. And other sessions by respective HODs, such as Finance Head, System Administration Head, HR Head and so on. These people cover a brief about the working of their respective departments, introduce their teams and the job profile of each team member. SO that it is clear to the new joinees whom to contact for a particular concern or query.
HR also covers a brief about the comapny's policies and what is expected from the new joinees as now they are also a part of the company.
We also ensure the presence of all the new joinees by sending them the Induction Schedule and keep a track by taking their attendance. On the last day of the Induction, a feedback form is given to all the participants (new joinees) in which they have to share their views about the programme, any inputs from their side and so on. ( A brief Feedback Form can be prepared for the same).
Hope it helps. And if not too much of a problem. Share your presentation.
Cheers!!!

Hi Sonali!
Here’s the info on the treasure hunt you asked. I guess It’s coming a bit late as I was away for a couple of days. In the meanwhile , it looks like you’ve got oodles of help from other members.
Thelma from Philippines asked for info about the treasure hunt too.
Thelma, if you are reading this ..hope it helps
The important thing about an induction is to make the inductees WANT TO LEARN about their organization. ( Note the emphasis on ‘want’ ) Normal inductions are Ho Hum affairs with the HODs talking about their departments & the inductees dozing.
Shoonya has sent a PDF about a treasure hunt though I cant open it. ( I cant open any of the PPts sent by other members either. Help anyone?)
Any way here are my steps on a Treasure Hunt:
· Divide the inductees into groups of 3,4, or 5. ( the lesser the better as everyone will participate)
· Design some creative clues/ questions about each dept. these may be written clues, object clues, audio clues or video clues. ( eg : play the song, ‘country roads take me home’.. by John Denver
· Once the a team cracks the clue, they go to the respective dept & the dept briefs them about the activities of the dept. Then they get the next clue which they crack & go to the next dept.
· And so on till they cover all depts..
· Have kiosks/ counters for each dept & 1-2 people manning these. They should be equipped with info/ material about their dept.
Ideas of clues:
· A picture of parliament house= admin dept.
· A keyboard or a mouse = IT / technical dept.
· A pouch containing some vegetables (potato, onion) = catering.
· A set of letters from Scrabble which when placed correctly spells the name of a dept.
· The registration number of a vehicle belonging to an employee of a particular dept.
· Teams can also be required to pass thru an obstacle/ do some work ( eg: give them lots of balloons to blow & carry to the dept. Or make paper planes , find a clue hidden in a matchbox buried in a mound of sand, tell a dialogue from a movie. Etc, etc .)
To make it more interesting :
· Give them team names or let them chose names. Give them Company tee shirts/ caps & colored arm bands to differentiate between teams.
· Have points system . The Team that cracks the clue & reaches the dept in quickest time gets max points. Eg: within 5 mins = 20points, 6-10 mins = 15 points. 11-15 mins = 5 points & Over 15 mins = no points.
· Award a prize for the wining team ( dinner with the CEO, some cool stuff or CASH )
Last but not the least – MAKE A VIDEO OF THE ENTIRE EVENT for keepsake & use in next induction.
Hope these ideas help.
Once you start thinking , the ideas will flow. If they don’t use ME to organize & conduct it for you.
By the way, one of my first Treasure hunt inductions was for a call center. Most recent was for an airline.
All the best.
