It is good to have E-Induction System?

Kelly Rainer (2007) stated that online employee induction system is easily manage and reporting of the induction process of new employees to expose new employee in their new environment organization and promotion requirement. All the system and information needed about the company will be share with the new employee.

There are some components that will include in the system. The example of the component is the induction programs. In this program, all the element in the human resource management system will be include such as performance management, training and development, compensation and benefit. The content of the induction system also need to be specific to the organization where the vision, mission, board of director, the product of the organization and else shown.

 The information that viewed in the system must be regularly up-date to avoid any misconception among employee. The building of the system also helps the employee to know the upper management in the company without meets them face-to-face. It also can be function as a medium on how new employees get to know other employees although there are not in the same department.

There are some advantages and disadvantages of e-induction. One of the crucial advantages are it is easy to access with the online induction online software as the employee just need to log in their username and password and they can explore the information and the related document easily. However, there is limitation if this system are using toward the employee who does not have the basic about computer system. The cost of the company will be increased by sending the employee to attend a training regarding computer system.

       "We call traditional induction the fire-hydrant approach: you get a lot out but lose a lot of it, too. The approach we take is to provide something people can track and refer back to, rather than something they do just once." says Emil Reisser-Weston, director at bespoke specialist e-learning WMB. "This company has been involved in e-induction for two years and is one of several that provide organizations with tools and expertise to create online induction courses.

        So, there are many ways on how e-induction can be applied which is manually or web-based system. In my opinion e-induction is an easy system that can be applied by the organization in order to save the time provided in conducting an induction program towards new employees. But, bear in mind that the organization must be up-to-date in term of the system.
