To reduce the initial anxiety all new entrants feel when they
join a new job in a new organization
First, the new person needs time and a place to report to work
Second, it is very important that the supervisor or the immediate boss meet
and welcome the employee to the organization
This may be simply an introduction to the new entrant about the job
and organization
It may last for one hour or so and there can be two versions:
Supervisory system
Immediate supervisor conducts the induction
General induction
This period of induction may vary from few days to few weeks
Phases of induction
programme
Specific induction
The focus is on the overall exposition of the new employee to his job
This training helps the new employee adjust to his work environment
Follow-up induction
Encounter; Upon entry into organisation, the new member enters the
encounter stage. The role playing starts here. The member starts
comparing expectations, the image of the organisation which he had
formed during pre-arrival phase with reality. If expectations and reality
concur the encounter is smooth. But seldom has it concurred. When
the two differ, stress and frustration set in. What follows thereafter is
a mental process of adjustment.
