When a new member of staff starts with our organisation, we want to make sure they feel welcomed and as part of the team as quickly as possible. There is an induction record which is for the new staff member and allows a record of the induction to be kept.
The induction is designed to take place over the first few months of staff joining the team.
Within the induction all staff will have a chance to understand the wider team and roles, not just their own. This is important, so staff understand the different aspects of the organisation. However, there is role specific inductions which cover the specifics of their role in greater depth.
The induction process will cover the following areas:
- Documents, policies and procedures that the staff members needs introducing to and opportunity to discuss
- Key sessions with a range of the Safe Families and Home for Good team
- Introduction to the role and associated skills sign off
- 1-2-1s with line manager throughout the induction period
The overall induction of staff is the responsibility of the line manager; however, the expectation is that other staff both locally and nationally are involved in the induction so that staff speak to and meet as many of the team as possible.
