INDUCTION PROGRAMME AT BLK HOSPITAL

Induction is a part of socialization process which enables the new recruit to adapt themselves to their respective organizations and their cultures. Induction is a technique by which a new joinee is rehabilitated into the changed surroundings and introduced to the practices, policies and purposes of the organization.

 For demographic profile chi square would be used for calculation purposes. For the evaluation of the questions simple mean would be taken. To test the reliability of the questionnaire Cronbach's alpha would be used.

 Since the joining formalities are conducted at the same time as the induction program, some respondents felt that they were unable to focus on the induction part. The method of training was generally lecture with very little discussion, which led to a monotonous environment. The training programme at BLK Hospital is a two day affair and all the employees should be present all the time, leading to lose of work for two days.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The training method used should be changed so that more trainee participation is encouraged. It is suggested that the joining formalities be completed before the induction programme so that appropriate training could be imparted.

The above step would also reduce the halo effect.

The induction training programme shouldnt be a two day affair because the employee gradually losses interest and also the organizations paid hours are not getting efficiently used. Management games could also be introduced to the induction programme to make it more interesting and encourage trainee participation.
