Introduction
You can help a new worker to become familiar with your business and the job they are starting through an induction process.
As an employer, you have a duty of care to your workers. This includes making sure they are competent to do their jobs, can do them safely and understand how their work relates to the rest of the business.
You can use an induction process to explain their role and introduce them to the rest of your workforce.
There’s no legal obligation to carry out an induction, but a structured programme helps you to be sure that you’ve covered everything. This guide explains what you should include in such a programme and how to carry it out.
