Induction design consultants

18th Dec 2000
Share this content

I would like to have recommendations for consultants (to help me) to design an induction framework for my organisation oof 1,200 staff. I have done some research into current internal practice and what we have is inflexible and very paper based.
I would like to work with consultants who are specialists in this area and who can take on parts of the project from beginning (project planning/communication/research) to end (resource design/evaluation).
I would like to create a framework that is flexible enough to be useful to new staff, voluteers and consultants working with the organisation.
I would like the induction support materials to be available in a variety of formats - paper, PC, video etc... so that it meets the style and needs of the users.
I want... I want... I want... If you know anyone or a company to fit this bill, let me know.

Hi Sue,

I have just seen your request for assitance in developing an induction
programme into your company. I believe that we can help you. We have
experience in this field, especially where a company may be undergoing growth
and change. Our experience with a company of 1000 staff, of which 80% were
new to the company and in some cases were schol leavers, involved integrating
staff destined for technical and highly numerate work, through to customer
service call centre personnel and general administrative staff and IT
consultants. We have also introduced sales staff to a company ensuring that
all joiners attained a basic level of understanding of the role they were
undertaking and that they met a minimum level standard of knowledge.

We have a flexible and consultative approach to the projects we undertake and
enjoy complete project challenges. We favour all mediums of information
delivery and have access to the latest multi-media training techniques and
platforms.

Should you like the sound of what we believe we can offer, then please e-mail
Vernon Simmons of Totalfeature Ltd, on [email protected] or call 01362 687969. I
am sure we can help you with your needs.

Regards

I may be able to contribute from research and development of methods and tools across a variety of industries, for folk in these categories: senior managers, executive in second and mid-career appointments, managers newly promoted from within, people with disabilities, school and college leavers.
I have an emphasis on self-assessment materials so that individuals can quickly related policy and practice to their own responsibilities and initiatives; and on using I.T. selectively but incisively.
A professional psychologist, counsellor and ergonomits, I work contentedly with other consultants.

Dear Sue
We have recently designed an Induction Package for a company with over 22,000 staff at over 500 sites to run over an Intranet and CD.
Add to this a background of open learning design and delivery covering a variety of topics, and an in-house web design and graphic production company and you can see we have experience that would contribute to your project.
Induction is one of my main subject areas, along with customer service and the sales process, and I would be delighted to talk with you.

Call me on 0161 875 0100 or e-mail at [email protected]. Web site www.metisltd.co.uk
