Induction checklist/structure

Hi, 

As well as (or instead of) the usual policy and admin stuff that makes a typical induction, you could potentially use this as an opportunity to explore and 'sell' the culture of your organisation in a really cool way. I was shown this interactive video piece by a colleague recently and, for me, it really hits the right notes: http://www.raptmedia.com/project/deloitte 

It's not built in Storyline but the same effect could be achieved using Storyline.

I've seen A LOT of inductions over the years that have been real mood killers (and I'm ashamed to say I might have scripted one or two of this nature too). Take advantage of your newbies being keen to learn and give them something to get excited about.

Bear in mind people are already taking on a lot of information when they first start a job. It doesn't matter how good an interactive slider activity on how to print off a document is or how cool the branching scenario explaining the terms of the pension scheme are, most people won't remember it. Accept the limitations of our medium (and of peoples' attention spans) and use online training to tee them off rather than attempt to download every term, condition and quirk of employment into their brains.

Information isn't relevant until you need it. 

Thanks,

Jack.
