Managing Employee Training - A study by Artur Victoria

A new employee, especially if he is young or new to factory life, has an inevitable feeling of strangeness among new surroundings and new people. He needs to be welcomed and helped to feel at home. Even if he is accustomed to factory work, the kind of welcome he receives in his first few days can have an effect on his attitude to his job. It is worthwhile therefore giving some attention to a new employee, and setting aside the necessary time on his first morning to give him undivided attention. It is usually convenient to have a list of the things new employees should have explained to them. This list obviously needs to be made especially for the factory concerned, but might include some of the following points: the kind of work done in the department systems (e.g. production control) in use in the factory safety practices and rules company rules and procedures payment of wages and bonuses canteen and welfare facilities works clubs and recreational facilities. Some large companies have induction courses for new employees, but such courses are a supplement to the induction given by the supervisor and are not a substitute for it. In a small company with no induction course, the whole of the responsibility is on the supervisor. A new employee should be introduced to his colleagues, and should know at least some members of senior management and be able to recognize them. leia todo o artigo
