Chapter Twelve Role of Induction 2
3. 12.1 Introduction.
Technically, Induction is not a part of
recruitment or selection process, but as
Recruiting manager, the candidate would
have established a rapport with you. The
new recruit is anxious about its new role
in the organization and related
challenges. Recruiting Manager is known
to the recruit and if she actively
participates in orientation or on-
boarding ; other terms for induction; the
process shall have a smooth start.

4. 12.1 Introduction.
Transition to the new work place is made
easier and more effective for both the
new employees and the employer if there
is an effective induction process.
Analysis of employment statistics shows
that the highest turnover happens in the
first year of employment.
The reason is improper recruitment and
selection procedures as also failure to
provide proper induction to the new hire
on arrival.
Chapter Twelve Role of Induction 4
5. 12.2 Why an Induction Programme?
Induction is the first step in building a
two-way relationship between the
organization and the employee. It is the
process of acquiring, accommodating,
assimilating and accelerating new team
members , whether they come from outside
or inside the organization.
The need for a structural induction
programme is best explained through
Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs like
Physiological, Safety, Social, Ego and
Self Actualization.
Chapter Twelve Role of Induction 5
6. 12.3 Link between Needs and Induction.
Physiological: First new hire wants to know
his place of work, location of things and
services needed, names of colleagues he
has to work with.
Safety: establish regular routine, know
structure, aims of the organization and
different departments.
Social: Forming relationships with staff,
sharing lunch with them, get used to
procedures and slowly fit in.

7. 12.3 Link between Needs and Induction.
Ego : As new hires understand their roles
better and attend training they begin to
gain in self respect and thus become more
effective.
Self Actualization : After 6 – 12 months
with the right environment , new comers
begin to fulfil their potential within
the roles.
