Re-inducting Employees

Hi all!

My company is currently looking at our Induction process & in particular how often we should be re-inducting staff.  Having tried to search for best practice in relation to this I am struggling to obtain any decent information.  Does anyone have any experience in this area or links to where I can find some ideas re this?

  • A lot of companies in regulated industries (finance and healthcare mainly) will have regular compliance training which is done on joining and then repeated on a regular basis? Is this the sort of thing you were thinking?

    In Financial Services, anti-money laundering and anti-financial crime training and other compliance revalidation is completed annually online.

    Healthcare professionals usually have to re-validate some of their training (emergency resuscitation and infection control) on an annual basis - I think this is usually 2 years?

    It might depend on your industry and what compulsory training you require employees to have completed.

  • I too have never ever heard of ‘re-induction’, One induction, at the beginning, might be a necessary evil but striving to repeat the process sounds to me like too much of a bad thing. Once induction is completed, surely the usual on the job learning process is gradual and experiential, supplemented as needs be (maybe diagnostically?) by ad hoc learning programmes and  / or bespoke learning events.

    Workplace learning thus is one thing and tends to be or should be lifelong and continuous, but induction surely is something very specific and different?
