Dear Rupali,

Orientation and Induction are entirely different things. Induction comes first and is followed by Orientation. Induction is for a shorter duration while Orientation is for a longer period.

Now, let's delve into the subject matter of Induction and Orientation. Induction involves introducing the company through an overall preview, often in the form of presentations. On the other hand, Orientation provides a practical overview of the company by introducing the employee to different people within the organization. This process aims to make the employee more familiar with everyone, giving them an idea of the company they will be working for and creating a sense of comfort within the organization.

Dear All, Fahim is very true, Induction is just introduction with the system. Orientation is to orient a employee in the system (Formal Placement)

Well, as rightly pointed out by Fahim, induction, as the name itself suggests, is the initiation wherein we extend our greetings to the new person on the board. It is basically a 'Holding Hand' concept. While Orientation has more weightage as it entails the adjustment and familiarization of the new joinee with the organization as a whole.

I hope I am correct.

Hi, do agree with fahim's descriptions, but some how bookish, practically companies involves in businesses where client’s requirements are always like a hell, recruitment took to much time to have an employee onboard, then we don’t have too much time to give induction training and orientation as well, specially if you are a services company and having a hiring strategy like considering experienced and well groom candidates.
Now the most important and not ignorable problem is certification’s audits. They asked questions having no sequence recently this happened with us while going through Lloyds’ certification audit, auditor asked about the induction training for a personnel having 18 years of experience in fire fighting equipments and services, but only 8 months with us, what to do in such conditions please discuss.

Orientation is the introductory stage which familiarizes the new employee with his/her new working environment by introducing aspects of the company such as:

- Company mission
- Quality and value statements
- Organization chart
- Business objectives
- Management
- Workplace facilities
- Work rules, regulations, and policies
- Employee benefits and incentives

Induction is the process of initiation into a new job or company by which a new employee learns about and becomes part of an organization. Induction ranges from formal orientation programs to informal familiarization and social events. Its overall purpose is to provide necessary information, facilities, and motivation to assist the employee in adjusting to the new work environment, learning the ropes, and becoming productive on the job. It aims to help him/her understand the company's expectations and convey what he or she can expect from the job and the company. It encourages the development of loyalty and enthusiasm towards the company and gains employee commitment.

Orientation can be completed in a day or two and is much simpler to organize and conduct, and is less time-consuming. Induction, on the other hand, involves ongoing, systematic training and support for new employees beginning before the first day of work and continuing throughout the first two or three years. In other words, orientation is one small activity that takes place during an overall systematic two or three-year training process known as induction.
