Employee Induction Checklist Template
Inducting a new employee into your organisation is full of excitement for both the organisation and the new starter. There’s also a certain amount of administration that needs to be completed, and of course you never want to miss an opportunity to make a great first impression.
How do you prioritise your induction processes? Is it about completing the employment paperwork in a timely manner, or giving your new starter the best transition into their new role? Is there a cultural focus in your organisation that needs to be communicated? Or multiple stakeholders who need to be updated on the induction process? Most likely it’s a combination of all of these and potentially more. Here’s some of the things you should consider when it comes time to review your induction process.
- Health and safety/compliance
- Communciation with stakeholders
- Onboarding of new starter
- Administration
- After onboarding reporting
We’ve put together a beginner’s checklist to help you get started on thinking about how induction and onboarding should work in your organisation. You can find a link to download a more detailed and advanced version below.
