“Inductions at our company vary, with some joiners receiving no induction at all”

“There is no general understanding of who is responsible for a new joiner’s induction and often there isn’t much advance notice that someone new is joining”

Process driven success From registration to completion, via workflows

Registering on the Learning Line forms the heart of the induction process. This is initiated by a manager who assigns mentors as part of the registration process.

Multiple mentors may be assigned, especially if there is a need for specialised experience (eg, disabled staff)

Once registered, a sequence of alerts is triggered, ensuring the new joiner has timely access to the necessary policy, process and training information.
