Stage 2 – Corporate Induction (part 1 of 2) - i-START induction hub

Corporate Induction represents an introduction to the wider organisation, presenting new employees to the organisational values, structures and services.

The i-START induction hub should be completed within four months of the employee’s start date and before attending part 2 of Corporate Induction.

Stage 3 – Departmental Induction

This stage provides appropriate information to employees relevant to their own role and department, while providing the line manager with a framework to communicate policies and procedures to employees.

Stage 5 – Corporate Induction (part 2 of 2) – corporate induction virtual programme

Corporate Induction part 2 is a follow-on from the completion of the i-START hub on HSeLanD. It is delivered through a half-day virtual classroom programme facilitated by Leadership, Learning and Talent Management.
