ABSTRACT
To acquaint participants with new co-workers and with their new work environments. Maps and a list of sites for a walking tour; a number of co-workers from the work site who can make themselves available for this activity; a variety of prizes and thank-you items. Works best with small groups where new employees take tours one-on-one with other employees, or, at most, with only two or three inductees per regular employee. Before the training begins, leave an appropriate number of stickers at each point of interest. For example, in the employee lounge, you might leave a small container filled with stickers and marked, 'Induction participants' on a table. Introduce the visiting employees from the worksite to the participants. Explain that this is not a race, but a walking tour. It is also an opportunity to meet new people and an opportunity to ask questions and gain information from a fellow employee who has been here a while.
