Induction is an essential part of a new employee’s first few weeks in the workplace and has a major impact on their experience as an employee and on the functioning of the organisation as a whole. Successful onboarding supports the employee’s adaptation to the new environment, promotes retention and provides the necessary tools to perform the job effectively.
In this article, I will discuss how careful and planned induction is a strategic investment that improves both employee well-being and workplace productivity in the long term, rather than a “nice to have” process.
The basis for employee experience and engagement
A new employee’s first impressions of the organisation will shape their perception of the company long into the future. A good induction creates a strong foundation for the employee experience, which in turn has a significant impact on employee satisfaction and the organisation’s reputation in the labour market. With an adequate and comprehensive orientation, employees feel welcome, valued and part of the work community. Such an experience increases the employee’s motivation and long-term commitment to the company.
In some companies, induction already starts with a well-structured preboarding process. Preboarding refers to the period from the signing of the employment contract to the first day of work, during which the new employee is informed about important issues related to the start-up and the employer.
Familiarisation reduces errors
The main objective is to provide the worker with all the knowledge and skills needed to perform his or her job in a desirable and safe way. Properly conducted induction significantly reduces the risk of errors by giving the employee a clear understanding of the company’s policies and expectations. At the same time, it makes work more efficient, as the employee knows from the start how to deal with different situations and how to use the tools needed for the job. All from This is reflected in in the long term in the long term also customers experienced by customers service and the company business the profitability of the business.

Continuous development and monitoring
Induction is not just a one-off event, but an ongoing process that needs to be developed and adapted. Several of my clients have mentioned how important it is for the employer to monitor how the new employee fits into the team and performs their tasks, and this is where the digital induction tool plays a big role. Regular discussions and feedback provide an opportunity to improve the process and ensure that it meets the needs of both the employee and the organisation.
In many sectors, diversity is highlighted and employers need to take into account different groups of workers and their needs. For example, multicultural teams and different work backgrounds require a different approach to the delivery of all training to ensure that each employee receives the support they need.
