What is a workplace induction for?

Explain it like I'm 16

An induction helps a new starter understand their job, their workplace and the support available. It should give them the information they need to begin working effectively.

A real-world example

A new receptionist practises the booking system, learns who handles urgent problems and walks through the building’s procedures with a colleague before working independently.
