Good induction training can ensure your new employees are retained and are able to settle in quickly and happily to a productive role. Induction training is as much about training in specific skills as it is about the basics seasoned employees take for granted: what the shifts are; where the notice-board is; what's the routine for holidays, sickness; what's the dress code etc. 
New employees need to quickly embrace the organisation's mission, goals and philosophy; personnel practices, health and safety rules, and of course the job they're required to do, with clear methods, timescales and expectations.  This course is designed to help delegates design a suitable and efficient induction programme for their own working environment.Location: Aberdeen, £315.00 per delegate. </description><pubDate>Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:39:02 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:cosensa.co.uk, 5178</guid></item><item><title>Train the Trainer - ILM (Institute of Leadership &amp; Management) Development Award - Tue 23/Mar/2010</title><link>http://www.cosensa.co.uk/CourseInformation.php?CourseID=20&amp;CourseTypeID=4</link><description>Tue 23/Mar/2010 - This three day course is unique to Cosensa and provides delegates with the special ability to effectively train staff.
