When it comes to establishing a good workplace culture, a well-prepared employee induction program is often the first port of call to ensuring a new employee not only knows what’s expected of them behaviour-wise but has a clear understanding of their job responsibilities too.
Ideally, it’s supposed to make a new employee feel welcome and excited to get started in their role, and to remind them that behaving like an asshole will not be taken kindly to.
This type of program has been quickly utilised by millions of corporate companies across the world and usually involves the help of a HR company who specialises in making dry, boring manuals that nobody actually reads. These manuals typically contain up to 100 pages of company dos and don’ts and corporate policies, as well as pretentious mission statements, health and safety protocols, and a lot of warnings about drugs and alcohol.
However, for local Betoota Ponds bar ‘Neon Nights’, the employee induction program is a little less refined but otherwise just as effective. Also known as the ‘You’re not supposed to do this method.”
This method, made popular in hospitality but seen in virtually every customer-facing job, centres on employees sharing slightly immoral or unsafe workplace shortcuts that make the employee’s life a little easier.
It’s unknown if this method is better than a professional workplace induction program, but at least employees can quickly form bonds over doing something they know they shouldn’t.
More to come.
