What is this for?

An induction program checklist is a document that outlines the key activities and tasks that should be completed as part of an induction program for new employees. It is designed to ensure that all new employees receive a consistent and comprehensive orientation to the organisation, its culture, and its policies and procedures.

Having an induction program checklist can ensure that new employees have a smooth and positive onboarding experience and can begin contributing to the organisation as quickly and effectively as possible.

An induction programme checklist can help to ensure that all relevant information is covered and that new employees have a clear understanding of their roles, responsibilities, and rights from the start of their employment.
