ABSTRACT
Impressions have been shaped by the advertisement, the interview and interview arrangements, treatment of travel expenses, etc., and new employees arriving to start work are in many cases thrust straight into the job without even minimal introduction to the employer's methods and rules, let alone introductions to colleagues and management. A formal letter should then be sent off incorporating all conditions of employment and also the job description. The second part of inducting new employees is concerned with ensuring that they know and understand what is required of them in order to do their jobs satisfactorily. The third aspect is concerned with determining the employee's ability to do the job itself effectively and this will depend upon a person's training and experience. Finally some induction programmes make use of formal training techniques in classroom situations.
