Inspirational inductions or recipes for an early exit?


Picture the scene. After a lengthy, well-planned and expensive recruitment process, you have selected the best people whom you believe will make a real difference.
Their first day arrives and they eagerly turn up to join the organisation they too have selected to fulfil their hopes, dreams and ambitions.
Have you planned an inspirational induction programme to make them feel they have made the right decision, a programme that will build on their initial enthusiasm and nurture their positive attitude and ideas into your organisations culture, values and practices? Will it make them feel welcome, part of something exciting, as though they are at the start of a very special journey?
If the reality is that your induction is a little jaded, you may need to think again. A bland introduction, some traditional slides and time alone clicking through an e-learning module may make them think this is not where their future lies. It is difficult to rekindle that initial spark and the people you selected for their potential may soon be scanning the job websites again.
Those firms that have thought hard about the longer-term benefits of retaining good staff, will have designed a robust induction process, resulting in the design and delivery of some practical but inspirational sessions that provide a lasting positive message to new staff.
Glascow Consulting Ltd are very happy to provide assistance in any aspect of your firm’s induction process from consultation to design and delivery of courses. Our unique and flexible approach means that you will benefit from assistance that will be entirely focussed on your firm’s needs.
