°×С½ãÂÛ̳

The Online Staff Induction draws together a variety of policies and procedures useful to °×С½ãÂÛ̳ employees. The information is arranged in seven tutorials, covering a range of areas such as what to expect during your first few weeks and a detailed list of facilities available, from media production resources to fitness classes.

The induction is interactive: staff can enter their payment details online, update their information on the staff directory, organise network access from the web, and download maps and key policies in full. The wealth of information is broken down into summaries, with links to more details and training opportunities elsewhere on the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ website, such as the The-Learning Zone, °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s online learning resource.

Staff can use the clear tutorials in any order and at any pace to fit around their schedules and priorities. Feedback is requested at the end of each one, as the current package is effectively a pilot that the Staff Training and Development Unit plan to review and develop next year.

°×С½ãÂÛ̳'s President and Provost, Professor Malcolm Grant endorsed the Online Staff Induction: "°×С½ãÂÛ̳ has several hundred new staff every year. The online package has been introduced to give access to this information more quickly, to more new staff, when they need it very early in their employment."

The Online Staff Induction forms one element of the radically revised staff induction programme. New starters are also now encouraged to attend a welcome event with °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s President and Provost, Professor Malcom Grant, go on a guided tour of °×С½ãÂÛ̳ and undertake an online diversity awareness programme.
