Module 1 Activity 12 by https://padlet.com/jos_icl/d0glcfk90f3h Talking about the Induction Process for new employees (Pharmacy) en-us 2017-02-06 00:05:56 UTC 2017-02-06 00:45:39 UTC hello@padlet.com Issues that need to be discussed to an employee especially relating to a Pharmacy Job. jos_icl https://padlet.com/jos_icl/d0glcfk90f3h/wish/151700925
1.       The responsibilities of the job and the expectations of the employer.
2.       Provide a full health and safety briefing, evacuation plan (in case of an emergency) and recognising what and where hazardous areas within the Dispensary are. 
3.       Some employers own more than one pharmacy. Need to clarify work hours and place of work.  Is the employee expected to work in both?  
4.       Is the employee under a trial period or probation period?

5.       On-going training opportunities for new employee

New employees do not go through a formal induction period at my workplace.  The boss hires the employee and they are expected to get on with the job and do what is needed doing.  The job description states skills and experience required and clarifies hours and days of work.  There is no probation period. There is not health and safety briefing.  Someone would tell the new employee where the toilets are.  The staff at my workplace are on individual employment contracts.
Our workplace staff is very stable (I have worked with the same 2 pharmacists for 12 years now) so new employees are few.  When we did gain a new shop person (our shop manager retired after 9 years), I went out of my way to make her feel comfortable and part of our small team. 

Because the team and pharmacy is small, the induction process that happens here is probably just adequate though very informal and is hard to recognise as such.  After the Christchurch earthquakes the boss did formalise Health and Safety requirements and a workplace evacuation plan.
