An induction programme is the process used within many businesses to welcome new employees to the company and prepare them for their new role. It is a structured process involving welcoming, receiving and introducing the newly appointed employees, providing them with the necessary information, and making them feel at ease so that they can settle down as soon as possible. This helps to ensure that they will be happy and become productive at work.

Induction training should preferably include development of theoretical and practical skills, but also meet interaction needs that exist among the new employees. The process is aimed at making the newcomer feel at ease and involves aspects like the following: reducing anxiety and stress; creating a feeling of security as soon as possible; creating realistic expectations on the part of the employee; and making the employee productive as soon as possible.

The Self Fulfilling Prophecy

Back in the 1950s a number of researchers began to realize that when people act on a belief, they create a reality to match that belief. This idea was developed further by Dr. Robert K. Merton, a professor of sociology at Columbia University, who pointed out that even when the original belief is false, people make it come true.

We humans seem to prefer that other people behave as we expect them to, and we will modify or distort reality until it conforms to our expectations. And we can do this without even being aware we are doing it!
