Local Induction Checklist
This checklist is to be used as a series of prompts to help produce an induction programme. It is not intended to be
exhaustive, but is a list of the topics that are likely to be useful to new colleagues and provides an overview of
information they will need to know in order to help them settle into their new role. Any departmental or rolespecific activities should be added to this list.
Please work through this checklist with your colleague on commencement of their employment.
In addition, your colleague will need to review the essential information that can be found on the induction
website:
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/humanresources/induction
All aspects of the induction should be completed within the first month of employment.
