Key roles in the process are played by a foreman and an instruc- tor. The foreman, or immediate supervisor, monitors the entire induction process, and the instructor, an experienced employee specially prepared for this role, actively helps in learning new skills.

By actively participating in trainings and workshops, employees can also learn about our history and organisational culture and understand the importance of the values we follow. information leaflet about the company. If they successfully go through the recruitment process, they receive a written declaration of intent to start employment, along with a de- scription of all steps needed for this to happen. The third tool developed for the purposes of induction is a toolkit recruits are handed in as they start work, which contains a package of practical information for the newworker. The first three days are devoted to familiarising the employee with their new workplace and responsibilities: 4.3 First moments at Nowy Styl Induction for production workers DAY 1 Essential information and H&S training A two-hour ‘Welcome to Nowy Styl’ training conducted by a HR specialist, and a six-hour H&S training.

DAY 3 On-the-job training with a foreman A foreman shares practical knowledge about tasks and duties, monitoring the entire induction process, and assesses the new worker’s skills and attitude at the end. Preparations for the induction programme Before launching the new employee induction programme, we trained our staff in how it works. Heads of production, coordinators, foremen and instructors went through a series of trainings in which they got to know the details of their roles in the induction process. A total of 213 people were trained as part of induction programme preparation and implementation. > Heads of production and production managers (14 people) honed their skills in assessing employee progress and providing feedback; > coordinators (11 people) learned to motivate workers and deliver effective presentations at their plants; > foremen (80 people) learned how to conduct job position training, evaluate work, model appropriate behaviour and delegate tasks efficiently to instructors; > instructors (108 people) were trained in effectively transfering work-related knowledge. 58 Table of contents
