Employee Induction and Orientation at the Army Welfare Trust

Abstract

This thesis was intended to debate the issue of whether new employee induction is beneficial or an extra burden for an organization. This research described the basic requirements, details, and importance of an induction plan. The preparations made by an organization to welcome a new member into their family and the actors involved in the training and development teams, are linked with the induction process. To explain my topic better, the Army Welfare Trust (AWT) was taken as a case study. The results of the conducted study revealed that an induction process should include the issue of “Get the practical stuff right, have a plan, inspire them, socialize, and be systematic”. This study helped us value the importance of inducting fresh employees in an organisation. The area of preparing an induction checklist for supervisors and also one for those in charge of the induction program is covered in the document. An estimate of the success of the induction process in the perspective of organisational aims, long-term and short-term objectives is also narrated.
