Induction is important for practitioners, individuals and organisations because the induction is a process designed to provide new staff to a health and social care organisation the relevant information they need to be able to fulfil their job they have accepted. The induction is important because it gives the means for a new member of staff to be integrated into an organisation as quickly as possible. Induction ensures all staff obtain a good understanding of how the organisation works including its principles, values and objectives. The induction is also important for the practitioner as it would set out what the organisation expects of the practitioner, the best practice within the organisations and also any legalisation they would have to follow in regards to Health & Safety, Fire and COSHH etc. Induction is all about getting the practitioner up to speed on how the organisation works. Induction is vital to ensure that new staff are productive as soon as possible and induction is provide to ensure that this happens. Induction is important for an organisation because it may help to reduce staff turnover in the early stages of employment, because during this time an employer will identify and acknowledge any issues or problems and address them as soon as possible. It is also an opportunity for the employer to identify the relevant skills and knowledge needed and to use them in the appropriate area for maximum effect, improvement and benefit from their services in the company or the organisation.
As part of the induction process within my setting, the organisation has information and materials that available to promote effective induction. These are the Job Description; Induction Pack; 5 Day Induction Training; Record of Induction, Training and First Supervision.
