Introduction to their department and the team
The job role and performance measurement
Safety policies and procedures
Systems and procedures
Information technology
Third Phase
Involves learning about the Organisation. Hence cover this gradually during the first three months. For example, topics might include:

When producing an induction programme for the first time, it is helpful to answer three key questions to identify the core content needed:
What does a new person need to know in order to be effective in their job role within the organisation?
What support and insights does the new person need to settle comfortably into the culture of the organisation (which people to meet for help and support)?
In addition, consider the best approach to gain an understanding of the core values of the organisation and the way it operates.
What do I want the new person to achieve, in say, their first three months of being in the job role?
