Induction is common to all most all organisations. What’s also common is getting it wrong. Hours spent delivering slide after slide after slide with no intention of preparing attendees with the information and know-how that will impact their working. This was the case for Ross Stevenson at Trainline.com and this was the reason he decided to do something different - and do something that works.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

L&D must be seen as absolutely integral to any organisation, so that all of our people recognise the importance and value of developing and growing.
By making the learning experience employee-centric, instead of merely convenient and topic-centric, we can all make the difference required to welcome new starters and prepare them for performance.
Far too many organisations still deliver "Death By Powerpoint" presentations, but we all know that this does not work effectively any more.
Video content is a fantastic way of creating engagement, and far more attractive to people than simple paperwork that is often ignored.

BEST MOMENTS
'I'm the A to Z of L&D'
'If we invest in people we can help people grow and have high performing teams'
'To make sure that we provide people with a real value-add experience touches on a human and a digital element'
'It's about not having a finite approach, and looking at an infinite approach'
