After investing so much time and effort into recruiting and selecting the right person for the job, your priority is to settle the new employee quickly into the organisation. The new employee will have formed perceptions about the workplace from the recruitment and selection experiences.

Generally, he or she will arrive on the first day full of enthusiasm, excitement and in many instances a wealth of experience. They need to feel as though they are welcome in the organisation.

A well-designed and professionally managed induction will reinforce a positive first impression that taking this job was a good decision. You should therefore give the same priority to this HR function as you would any other.
