Induction guidelines

Induction is the first step in building a two-way relationship between the organisation and the employee.

The transition to the new workplace is made easier and more effective for both the new employee and the employer if there is an effective induction process.

The Induction Guidelines are intended to help new recruits to the civil service by outlining structures and policies in place for civil servants.

Departments and Offices should supplement these guidelines with information/training which is specific to their own organisation.

For example, many Departments and Offices have developed or on line training modules on issues that are critical to their own organisation.
