Better induction
The aim of Hansel’s induction is that everyone receives a fair and comprehensive orientation at the start of their employment. With a high-quality induction, we ensure that the employee is part of the work community from the very start and can quickly and effectively start their work. Good induction also promotes safety and well-being at work.
Hansel wants to ensure that new employees are properly familiarised with their work and working environment. The induction of a new employee at Hansel is the responsibility of their supervisor, but naturally the supervisor does not have to actually handle all the orientation activities themselves, as Hansel has support materials that can be used to support the induction process. The materials were renewed and restructured in 2023. The tools to support induction include an induction card, an online induction course and a company-wide induction programme.
Getting started with online induction
We completed our first online course at the end of the year, and it has been well received by new and senior employees alike. The online induction course made the induction process more flexible, as part of it can be done independently. It also saves the supervisor’s time because they do not have to go through the same matters with each new employee. The online induction helps us ensure that all new employees have a consistent level of knowledge and skills when they start their work. During the online course of around 20 minutes, the employee explores the following areas at their own pace:
- Hansel as a company
- Sustainability
- General employment matters
- Employee well-being
- Communication and social media
In addition to online induction, we have reformed our in-house induction programme to comply with our current needs. The number of employees is growing, and thanks to the hybrid working model, we have employees from all over Finland, which is why the induction programme will be condensed to two days.
Induction days give the new employee the opportunity to talk to representatives from different units and to get to know their new colleagues. The orientation into the working culture and being a Hansel employee is expected to result in a stronger organisational culture, a stronger sense of job relevance and improved interaction.
