Hi Rehaan,

Basic purpose of all these Induction Programs are: to make the new employee feel at ease with the work place; with his/her team mates; to know about formal and informal norms in the firm or company; to know about the do's and dont's

And the first few days or weeks the employee spends aroundn in a new company , makes certain impressions about the company, people and groups. Some biasedness may creep in unless, the employee is put through a proper induction program.

In some companies, you can see, the new employee reports and there is no chair and table for him to sit or no computer or other needed facilities. After he gives the joining report, then hastily certain things are pulled from here and there and he is made to sit.

Induction programs should invariably have the component of Mentoring in them, so that the Mentor takes care of the employee and guides him through the firm or organization.

In your model, you can think of various aspects of the job, organizational culture and the few faltering steps the new employee is taking because of gap in the knowledge about established systems and norms. Think about the mentor-mentee relationship in an induction program. This would require that the firm or company should identify mentors (voluntary basis) for grooming the new entrants. All the best.
