The Challenge
Anne, Head of Learning & Development, wanted a simple to follow and consistent approach to induction that would make life easier for everyone. The effectiveness of the previous induction process was of variable quality due to differing levels of experience, commitment, and confidence among team leaders. In a difficult recruitment market, Anne knew it was essential to ensure engagement from new recruits early on.
Anne and her team had given some consideration to creating their own app but decided against it due to complexity and time constraints. They expected there would be some level of feedback and reporting from the app, that it would link to other systems, be simple to navigate, and that it would reflect the look, feel and brand of the business.
The induction app is brilliant! Amazing work 😊

- The induction process is simple, visual, and well-paced, with a gamified approach
