Welcome to the practice! Inductions for new employees

HOW does your practice greet new employees? Are they given a helping hand, or left to `sink or swim' on their own? Induction programmes offer huge benefits to employers and employees alike. A formal induction can help the newcomer fit into the team and approach their work with confidence from day 1, while employers can be sure the correct training has been given. Peter Gripper provides some ideas on how to design and develop an induction programme.
