New employees in a company are normally given an induction programme during which they are introduced other employees and are shown the abilities they should learn. Induction is the procedure of introducing new employees to an company and to their work tasks in that company. Usually, the first few days at work will just include observation, with an skilled employee showing the ‘new hand’ the ropes. Many large companies will have a comprehensive training scheme, which is prepared on an ‘in-house’ basis. This is mainly true of larger public companies such as banking institutions and insurance companies.
