Groot Swem Part 2

We all know about an induction process. In fact, most of us have probably been through several in our time!

Induction is a critical step in helping new people in a business understand more about the way an organisation works, its values and beliefs, and the all-important workplace culture.

It’s a moment where you literally induce someone into your culture, and a key milestone in the process of creating ‘insiders’ rather than ‘outsiders’.

But as King Price nears its 11th birthday, we realised that many of our early employees and leaders either hadn’t done induction, or simply needed a refresher of how we live our purpose, values and beliefs.

It’s only natural. In every business, people sometimes drift apart. Over the years, they develop their own interpretations of values and behaviours.

People processes and policies evolve and change. And Covid, with all of its lockdowns and remote working, changed the workplace for everyone.

And so, we launched a re-induction process within our business.

It’s been a great opportunity to get everyone refocused and realigned on the King Price way. To dust off the cobwebs of the past few years and get everyone back on the same page, as it were.

We started with our leaders, and I can tell you that after the first couple of sessions, we’re already seeing a new energy ripple through the business. People who have been here for years suddenly have a new sparkle in their eye and spring in their step.

If you’ve seen a change in your working environment post-Covid, or morale is a little low, perhaps you should consider a re-induction process.

Reminding your people of their purpose, and why they really come to work every day, could be the reset everyone needs to get back on track.
