Effects of Induction on Customers
Internal Customers
Internal customers find that the induction process makes sure that all are informed about the procedures and protocols of the department and helps them know what is expected from them. It gives them an introduction to the department and the area they are working in to help them get familiar. It gives them access to the IT systems that are routinely used. They get to meet key people with whom they will be working with, see the documentation and procedures they are expected to use and gives an opportunity to ask questions. Internal customers found that there was less of a burden on them after having an effective induction, as they would knew exactly what they were tasked to do. They found that they settled into their working role and were able to make contributions quicker. Staff members also discovered that they were more confident in their overall work output and had better motivation and morale. They were also able to achieve their targets on time as the productivity and efficiency increased.
I have been unable to attain any information regarding external customers due to patient private and confidentiality agreements.

Evaluation of the Induction Process
It is evident from the evidence that has been gathered, that the induction process within Crosshouse Hospital, Dietetics Department is fairly efficient but it is time consuming. As of April 2014 the corporate induction within Crosshose Hospital will be updated. The corporate induction is now on the first day of their employment rather than some time within the first 2 months. Which means that the new employee gets a proper introduction to the organisation on the first day. Where as prior to the update i...

Learning and Development: Corporate Induction
Within the Brookfield’s Restaurant organization there is a problem of having a high turnover rate, which is dependent on employee’s motivation as well as how much they feel they are involved in the company culture. Since the restaurant is a fast paced food service industry that requires employees to be capable of handling the pressure of dealing with many customers’ demands while also providing a high level of service to each guest which can be hard for many, making them less motivated to work. Also, the company culture is important by making the employees feel welcomed in the company and to help support them while on the job, so as to the employees want to stay on the job and not wanting to leave. We will provide an analysis showing employee’s work motivations and involvement in the company culture to determine if these factors are the cause of the high turnover rate.
Induction programmes are not usually about a specific job the employee will be doing, but the way in which the business works. Then they have off and on the job training, which takes place in different methods. Induction This is the training provided for new employees and in this program they will learn the following: * Where everything around the workplace is such as the essentials which are fire exits, toilets, staff canteen, basically they will get a guided tour of their place of work. * They will go through the employee’s hour of work, who their manager is, name tags, uniform and training which will be provided for them in the future.

Workplace education is one of the most essential factors that companies must take into consideration when they are to evaluate the different methods for improving their employee’s competency and skills and the company’s competitiveness in the market and its overall quality. By utilizing workplace education practices such as in-house training, seminars, peer to peer learning, online modules, etc., companies are able to attain high training effectiveness for their employees. As mentioned by Noe and Peacock (2008), “training effectiveness refers to the benefits that the company and the trainees receive from training” (p. 134). The training effectiveness benefits apply to both the employee as well as their respective employer. Benefits for the employee may include behavioural changes or even acquiring new skills. For employers, trained employees could provide a more competent team, increased expertise, an increase in productivity, and even higher sales. To optimize the effect that workplace education has on any individual company, companies must be willing to receive and make changes based on feedback and evaluations from both the training and the competencies of the individuals.
Another point is the use of motivational techniques to train and develop employees, which is mentioned above.

AJ Hackett will send out the paperwork such as the job description and the crew hand book, this handbook is updated every year.

Every day, individuals are being influenced by the stimuli around them. Most of the time, they are not even aware that this is happening. Things seen, heard and experienced all come together to form an individual 's own idea about the world around them. This unconscious activation that predisposes individuals to certain responses and choices is called priming. Numerous studies have been conducted to determine if priming has an effect on consumer behavior and for the purpose of furthering the understanding the underlying effects of environmental primes on behavior. These studies have since exposed a cascade of priming effects on behavior.
“Training is the systematic acquisition of skills, rules, concepts, or attitudes that result in improved performance” (Goldstein & Ford, 2002). Pal’s Sudden Service has focused their hiring practices on hiring the right people first, providing the best training possible and reinforcing training everyday. The investment in training has much more to do with the company other than low errors, reduced customer wait times, which lead to high customer satisfaction. The focus on training reduces employee turnover. The costs of hiring and training new employees greatly reduces customer loyalty, both significantly will impact profit. The challenge, comprehend the training requirements, formulating who will train and how the process will be trained. The repeated success of a training program must be quantifiable and re enforced. An efficacious training program with continual re enforcement will pay strong dividends in business profit, employee satisfaction and customer loyalty.
