INDUCTION AND

ORIENTATION
Induction and Orientation
Armstrong defines induction is “the process of receiving and welcoming an employee when he first
joins a company and giving him the basic information he needs to settle down quickly and start
work.
Orientation is the process of acquainting new employees with the organization.
Orientation topics range from such basic items as the location of the company cafeteria to such
concerns as various career paths within the firm.
Socialization is a process through which a new recruit begins to understand and accept the values,
norms and beliefs held by others in the organization.
HR department representatives help new recruits to internalize the way things are done in the
organization”.
Orientation helps the newcomers to interact freely with employees working at various levels and
learn behaviors that are acceptable.
Objectives of Induction/Orientation
Induction Serves the Following Purposes:
Removes fears: A newcomer steps into an organization as a stranger. He is new to the
people, workplace and work environment. He is not very sure about what he is
supposed to do. Induction helps a new employee overcome such fears and perform
better on the job.
The job, its content, policies, rules and regulations.
The people with whom he is supposed to interact. .
The terms and conditions of employment.
Creates a good impression: Another purpose of induction is to make the newcomer
feel at home and develop a sense of pride in the organization. Induction helps him to:
Adjust and adapt to new demands of the job.
Objectives of Induction
• Get along with people.
• Get off to a good start.
• They begin to take pride in their work and are more committed to their jobs.
• c. Act as a valuable source of information:
• Induction serves as a valuable source of information to new recruits. It
classifies many things through employee manuals/handbook.
Informal discussions with colleagues may also clear the fog surrounding
certain issues.

the employee, put him at ease and make him feel confident about his abilities

Check on reality shock
• Effective induction can minimize the impact of reality shock some new
employees may undergo. Often, freshers join, the organization with
very high expectations, which may be far beyond the reality. When
they come across with reality, they often feel shocked.
• By proper induction, the newcomers can be made to ‘understand the
reality ‘of ‘the situation.
