Induction ensures that new employees are initiated in the expectations, performance and culture of the Company. When used strategically, the induction process can increase employee retention by helping them understand their role and how it fits into the company. Companies that have structured new employee induction processes are more likely to have higher productivity within the workforce, as the new employee may be able to add value to the business sooner if they can hit the ground running. Employees who have undertaken a structured induction process will have a fair idea of how the company operates.

Induction training, also known as onboarding or orientation, is the process of introducing new employees to their job, the company, and its culture.
