Employee inductions become outdated very quickly – and important changes often go unnoticed. In the whirlwind of the HR Manager’s day-to-day duties, the task of updating safety inductions is easily pushed to the bottom of the list.
Why it doesn’t get done
One of the primary reasons changes to a company’s employee induction may not get done is simply because it can be a bit of a task to actually make the changes in the first place. It can also be very costly. Making changes may involve printing new booklets, editing videos, contacting (and relying on) a third party provider, or fighting for IT department attention. And because there is an employee induction up and running, the status quo is often enough to satisfy the over-worked HR department.
