Employee Induction Manual

The Employee Induction Manual has been developed to explain to all staff members the employment policies and rules of your organisation.

It is intended to be a guide for new employees, to help them find their feet quickly, feel welcome and well informed on the policies, customs and practices of your organisation.

Experience shows the sooner new employees feel settled, the sooner their valuable contribution can be felt across an organisation.

We hope you'll find this manual will lighten the load for the busy staff in the community sector.

It is easily customisable and full of tips and guidance notes, including the ability to modify the manual to reflect the culture in your organisation.

You will also find some great new ideas, practices and processes that you may decide to adapt or adopt to help you become a better employer fostering a greater sense of purpose.
