Induction Training
Green Light Induction Programme – what to expect
Green Light provides a structured induction programme to all new starters. At present, this is a blend of virtual and workplace learning over the first three weeks of employment. A variety of interesting topics are covered by experts in their field. By the end of your induction, we’d expect you to have a good understanding of the company culture, our aims, and the needs of people Green Light supports. You should have an awareness of the expectations of your new role, and how to be an effective team player. We’d expect you to see positive relationships starting to form between you and your new manager and colleagues, and with the people you and your team support together. During the induction, you’ll meet fellow inductees, as well as long standing Green Light team members, all with valuable experience to share. By the end of your induction you should have a good grasp of company policies and procedures (or at least know where they are!) and how you can access any additional help or support needed to do your job well. You should end your induction feeling welcome, prepared and excited to support our mission ‘empowering people to lead a lifestyle they’re proud of’
