Staff Induction Policy – A policy to be used in Early Years detailing staff induction and specific processes. This is editable for your school or setting.

The Staff Induction Policy outlines the structured process for welcoming and integrating new employees into the setting. Its purpose is to ensure that all new starters receive a consistent, informative, and supportive introduction to their role, the team, and the company as a whole. The policy establishes the key steps and responsibilities involved in onboarding, including orientation, training, health and safety briefings, and familiarisation with policies, culture, and values.

This policy is designed to help new staff feel confident, informed, and engaged from the outset, promoting a smooth transition into their new role and improving retention, performance, and job satisfaction. It applies to all newly hired employees, regardless of position or employment type.
