1 Summary INDUCTION POLICY AND PROCEDURE New members of staff require an induction period to enable them to settle in to their new place of work. This policy sets out the framework and responsibilities for the induction process, which includes attendance at induction event/s and completion of local departmental induction for permanent staff and temporary workers. Each new member of staff with their line manager is responsible for ensuring the induction process is completed within 3 months (90 days) for permanent staff. The timeframes for completion of the induction process for junior doctors and temporary workers are detailed in this Policy. Local induction checklists are contained in this Policy; these outline the minimum content for different groups, including temporary workers. The Training and HR Administration Team will arrange regular Trust induction events and will take responsibility for monitoring compliance in line with this policy. Directors are ultimately responsible for ensuring that staff are released to attend induction events and local inductions are carried out appropriately.

2 1. POLICY STATEMENT 1.1 The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust recognises that it is important to ensure that all members of staff joining the Trust receive an appropriate Induction. This is in line with the Trust s Risk Management Policy. 1.2 The purpose of providing an appropriate induction is to help members of staff settle into their role and enable them to become a fully effective member of the team. The Trust recognises that there is a period of time when new staff members are becoming familiar with their post and the organisation. During this period they must attend the relevant Trust Induction session and receive an appropriate local induction. The full period to complete this induction process is three months (90 days). 2. RESPONSIBILITIES 2.1 Director of Workforce & Corporate Affairs Overall responsibility for this policy rests with the Director of Workforce & Corporate Affairs. 2.2 Mandatory Training Monitoring Group (MTMG) The MTMG has overarching responsibility for the Trust induction process. It will determine the minimum content of corporate and local Inductions and monitor the processes set out in the policy including: process for booking all new permanent staff onto Trust induction timescales for completion of corporate induction how the organisation records that all new permanent staff complete Trust induction how the organisation follows up those who do not complete Trust induction For permanent staff and temporary workers: timescales for completion of local induction how the organisation records that all new staff complete local induction how the organisation follows up those who do not complete local induction MTMG will receive the quarterly mandatory training and induction compliance reports and approve actions to address non compliance issues. 2.3 Training and HR Administration Team/Learning and Development Specialist Team The Training and HR Administration Team will provide properly resourced Trust Induction programmes of high quality for all staff (including medical and temporary workers) attendance at which is mandatory The Training and HR Administration Team will: organise the day to day running of the Trust Induction programmes Page 2 of 29

WIRED identifies all substantive staff directly employed in relation to the specific mandatory training, including induction, that they require for their role. The system highlights compliance as green, noncompliance as red and an amber status for training which is due in 3 months or less The Workforce Intelligence Team is responsible for ensuring WIRED is updated monthly with training completion data. 2.4 Recruitment Team The Recruitment team will ensure all new substantive staff working for three months or more (including those on fixed term contracts) are automatically booked onto the first available Trust Induction Programme/s relevant to their staff group. Recruitment will notify new staff of their Trust Induction events in their pre-employment offer of employment letter which is copied to their line manager. 2.5 Temporary Staffing Office (TSO) The Temporary Staffing Office will monitor and record all bank/agency workers compliance with local induction checklists and will manage a database to record completion and follow-up with those who do not comply with induction requirements in accordance with Appendix 4. The TSO will ensure that all managers are aware of when a temporary worker is working their first shift at the Trust. 2.6 Subject matter experts Subject matter experts are Trust employees or external contractors who have expertise in areas identified as mandatory for inclusion in the Trust Induction event. They are responsible for ensuring they keep themselves updated with any changes in legislation, Page 3 of 29

They are responsible for taking prompt management action to ensure that non-compliance is addressed. This forms part of their responsibility to manage risk within their department. 2.8 Manager(s) Managers are responsible for ensuring that staff are supported and rostered to attend the first Trust induction session relevant to their staff group and any other mandatory training sessions and e-learning. Managers should determine the content of local induction in addition to the mandatory minimum, set out in this document and should carry out the duties listed in the Induction checklist both before and after the new starter s first day at work. This includes timely completion and submission of documentation to confirm local induction has been completed within 1 month (30 days) for permanent staff, 14 days for temporary workers. Managers should also keep a record locally. Managers will also monitor the completion of the relevant induction training for staff in their area, investigate and follow-up non-compliance and ensure that their staff complete the relevant induction as a matter of urgency. Managers should refer to the mandatory training compliance reports available via the WIRED system on the intranet. 2.9 Staff Each member of staff is responsible for attending Trust Induction and for taking an active part in the local induction process. Individuals unable to attend an induction event should inform their manager and the Training and HR Administration Team immediately to book onto the next session. Staff should ensure they complete and return local induction documentation within 1 month (30 days).

5 3. TRUST INDUCTION 3.1 All permanent staff, bank workers, staff employed on fixed term contracts and contractors working in the Trust for over 3 months are expected to attend the first induction event after joining the Trust, whichever site is hosting the event. If, for part-time employees, the induction is on a non-contractual day, where possible they should still attend, time in lieu should be offered or the appropriate payment made. Induction events are offered on a different day each month for ease of access. Bank workers will be paid for attendance at the appropriate Trust induction. 3.2 In the exceptional circumstance that a new member of staff is unable to attend on the initial date (e.g. due to sickness) then the new staff member must make arrangements with their manager to attend the next induction event. Attendance at Corporate Induction will be monitored and staff must attend within 3 months (90 days) of joining. 3.3 There are four versions of the Induction Event, which are targeted at different staff groups. The following table outlines these events. Induction Session Corporate Induction Hospital Nurses Induction (based at Sutton) Junior Doctors Induction Community Clinical Induction Mandatory for All staff except Junior Doctors All hospital nursing staff All Junior Doctors All community nurses and AHPs Frequency Timeframe for attendance 12 per year As soon as possible and within 3 months (90 days) of joining 8 per year As soon as possible and within 3 months (90 days) of joining To coincide with rotations Every other month F2s, ST1s and ST2s on first day of joining (or within 1 month) ST3-7s as soon as possible and within 2 months of joining.

Line managers are responsible for ensuring this is completed. 3.4 The Training and HR Administration Team will publish the dates of Induction events on the intranet and ensure the Recruitment Team receive the Induction schedule in advance. 3.5 Recruitment will book new starters onto the next available Trust Induction date/s and record appropriate details in the central recruitment spreadsheet. Page 5 of 29

6 3.6 The Training and HR Administration Team will confirm induction details with the new starter on joining which will be copied to the line manager. 3.7 The Training and HR Administration Team will record attendance from signature sheets onto the Trusts central electronic staff records database (ESR), monitor attendance and produce quarterly induction compliance reports. 3.8 The Training and HR Administration Team will follow up non-attendance by informing the manager and the staff member and rebooking staff onto the next Induction event. 3.9 In the case of persistent non-attendance (outside of the 90 day induction period) the Training and HR Administration Team will inform the relevant Service Manager / Head of Department or Director and request that the matter be investigated and appropriate management taken to resolve the matter. Access to other education, learning and development activities may be withheld until the required induction training has been completed Where it has not been possible to release staff to undertake mandatory training for operational reasons and staff have made reasonable effort to attend / complete trust induction training within the required period, access to other learning and development opportunities should not be withheld. Managers should escalate operational issues which prevent attendance at induction training to the appropriate Director The L & D Specialist Team will review minimum content of the Corporate Induction programme annually, this is listed in Appendix RECOGNITION OF MANDATORY TRAINING RECEIVED IN OTHER TRUSTS 4.1 If a new member of staff joins the Trust from within the NHS, they may have previously completed relevant mandatory training. To avoid duplication of training the Trust will accept evidence of attendance at relevant mandatory training completed within and NHS organisation provided that: Training was completed within an NHS organisation that has signed up to the National Training Framework. Evidence of training accepted are; certificates or attendance or electronic information from ESR transferred via the Information Authority Transfer (IAT) process or a signed Mandatory Training Declaration Form (Medical staff only). 4.2 It is the staff member s responsibility to ensure that appropriate evidence of training completion is provided to Training and HR Administration Team in order to be exempt from induction or mandatory training sessions. Evidence includes certificates of attendance and training records with Trust identifier (eg equivalent to Trust WIRED system). 4.3 Staff will need to familiarise themselves with local aspects e.g. Trust policies and procedures for subjects where training has not been received within the Trust. This should be documented as part of the local induction process in line with the Trust Induction Policy. Page 6 of 29

7 5. E-LEARNING 5.1 Completion of e-learning modules is an essential part of the induction process. E- learning materials have been developed to meet mandatory training needs which will support the overall plans for the delivery of induction and mandatory training within the Trust. These can be accessed through National Leaning Management System (NLMS) and will be recorded against an individual s employee training record. 5.2 Specific e-learning topics required as part of induction are listed on the local induction checklist (Appendix 2). 5.3 Protected time should be scheduled to enable staff time to complete the relevant e- leaning as part of the induction process. 6. LOCAL INDUCTION 6.1 Permanent Staff All permanent staff, staff employed on fixed term contracts and contractors working in the Trust for more than 3 months must complete an approved local induction checklist within 1 month (30 days) of joining. The templates for different staff groups are listed appendix Junior Doctors should complete the Junior Doctors Departmental Local Induction checklist (contained within appendix 7) within 1 month of joining. A copy of completed checklists should be returned to the Post Graduate Medical Education Coordinator (Content of checklist being updated) The new starter s manager is responsible for determining what needs to be covered in the individual s local induction. The checklist templates list the minimum content to be covered as part of the local induction process. Additional items will need to be included depending on the role and where the new member of staff is working.

The manager is responsible for keeping a record of local induction activity Where staff have made reasonable effort to complete a local induction within the 30 day timeframe, access to other learning and development opportunities should not be withheld. Managers should escalate operational issues which prevent completion of local induction to the appropriate Director Overall induction compliance rates will be reported quarterly to MTMG and the Workforce Delivery Group (WDG). Induction compliance will also be included in the quarterly Mandatory Training Report to the Integrated Governance and Risk Management Committee (IGRM). Page 7 of 29

8 6.2 Temporary Workers Temporary workers (bank, agency, medical locums) will normally be working for the Trust for less than three months. The line manager is responsible for determining what should be included in the individual s local induction, but it should at least include those items identified in the Local Induction Checklist for Temporary Workers (See Appendix 5). Evidence of statutory of mandatory training completed within another NHS organisation will be accepted Bank workers are required to complete an appropriate local induction in conjunction with the line managers.

12 APPENDIX 2 Manager s Guide to completing Local Induction This checklist represents the Trust s minimum requirements for local induction. However, it may not represent everything that a new employee needs to know in order to work safely and successfully in YOUR department. Pease add this checklist to your departmental induction pack as applicable. It is your responsibility to ensure that all new employees in your department complete local induction. The attached signature sheet must be scanned/ ed to LocalInductionChecklists@rmh.nhs.uk within 30 days of the new employee s start date. You will receive an automated reply to confirm that the signature sheet has been received. The completed checklist does not need to be returned to the training department, but a copy of the completed checklist (electronic or paper) should be filed in your department as part of the employee s records. Some hints on completing the Checklist: Ideally, items should be dated as they are completed. However, it is ok to bundle items together and just put one date against them. The form does not include specific items of mandatory training as these are covered as part of the Trust Induction day. Individual e-learning log-in details will be issued within 2 weeks of the new employee s start date. If they have not received their log-in in that time, contact ASKHR on extension 6660 to request the details. There are a large number of Trust policies and procedures which may be relevant to the New Starter s role they are accessible via the intranet. The following policies will apply to all members of staff: Risk Management, Incident Reporting and Being Open. There is a requirement for all staff to read and be aware of all Information Governance/Records Management policies. However you may wish to point out other policies/procedures specific to their role and work location. The acronym TNA refers to the Trust s Training Needs Analysis spreadsheet which specifies the mandatory training required by each staff group. You may also check a new starter s mandatory training requirement by checking their individual WIRED report. Top tips for Local Induction Here are some top tips from managers who really know how to make induction work for their departments: o o o Local induction is important it ensures that your new starters are smoothly integrated into your team and helps them to work safely from the minute they arrive in your department. Make sure that everyone in the department, including the new starter, knows how important it is. Local induction works best if it s supported by good procedures and structures. Although you are responsible for ensuring that new employees complete their local induction, you can delegate parts of the induction to a suitable member of staff e.g. mentor or buddy, who can lead the new starter through the basics. Don t rush the local induction it is impossible to complete it all on day 1! The best departments plan a phased local induction which takes place during the first month of employment. Remember, the completed signature sheet must be returned within 30 days of the start date. Page 12 of 29
