1 Introduction Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) recognises the importance of an effective induction for all new employees into the Trust. A structured induction programme consisting of both Corporate and Local induction elements ensures that new employees receive the essential information they require to enable them to operate effectively as quickly as possible and in doing so ensures their safety, the safety of patients and minimises the risk to the organisation. 2 Purpose The purpose of this Policy is to set out the minimum standards required for the delivery of Corporate and Local Induction to ensure that the Trust meets its statutory and regulatory requirements and is assured that staff are equipped to provide safe care within a safe environment. It defines the way in which areas of responsibility for induction within the Trust have been determined, together with the primary method for delivery and monitoring. The policy for Corporate and Local Induction is based upon the following key principles: a) Corporate and Local Induction is an essential component of the Trust s governance framework and risk management strategy and meets the requirements of NHSLA Standards and Care Quality Commission Standards; b) Corporate Induction is recorded within the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) (via the Oracle Learner Management System (OLM)) and Local Induction is linked to the annual individual review/appraisal and personal development planning process within the organisation; c) New permanent employees and temporary employees contracted for a period greater than 8 weeks receive a planned and professional welcome to the Trust; d) New employees are integrated into the organisation as quickly as possible, providing new employees with the practical information they need to begin their new role; e) Essential safety and risk management information is imparted to minimise risks to themselves, the patients and the organisation; f) The new employee is introduced to Trust policies and procedures which govern and regulate the work that they do; g) New employees understand the vision and goals of the Trust and thus the context in which they are working and their role in supporting the achievement of Trust goals and business plans; h) New employees are supported in their new post, helping them maximise their potential as quickly and efficiently as possible.

3 Scope This policy applies to all staff directly employed by and working within the Trust on a permanent, fixed term, rotational or temporary contract of greater than 8 weeks duration (including bank staff). Temporary staff engaged for shorter periods must receive a basic induction /appropriate workplace orientation and risk management training to fulfil their temporary duties. 4 Definitions Induction: The formal entry into an organisation, position or office. Corporate Induction: The half-day programme, designed as an introduction to the organisation. Initial Mandatory Training: Training that staff are required to attend upon appointment or by exception within the first 3 months of employment. The subjects required on initial appointment, together with the process for monitoring and managing non-compliance are identified in the Prospectus which can be found on the education and training section of the intranet. Local Induction: variable in length and method of delivery, supported by the line Manager, this induction will be aligned to specific role and area of work. The minimum requirement for local induction is contained within the local induction checklist (Appendix 2) Workplace Orientation: Informing and showing a member of staff the working environment, domestic arrangements, essential health and safety information. All Staff : For the purposes of this policy all staff includes all individuals directly employed by and working within the Trust on a permanent, fixed term, rotational or temporary contract of greater than 8 weeks duration. Temporary Staff: For the purposes of this policy temporary staff includes all individuals employed directly or indirectly (including agency) for a period of less than 8 weeks in duration. Personal Portfolio: A Personal Portfolio is a document that is used by individual members of staff to record their performance and for planning and recording their development. It is a document that enables staff to collect evidence that demonstrates the knowledge and skills they have gained within their role. The main focus of the document is to support Individual Review Process/Appraisal linked to the NHS Knowledge & Skills Framework (KSF) and Core Competencies for Medical Staff. Induction Booklet : provided to new staff on the corporate induction programme which includes supplementary information and guidance including a list of Trust Policies.

The content of this programme is subject to amendment in response to service needs / risk; however its primary aim is to incorporate those subjects requiring attendance of the majority of staff. The block organisation of the programme, encourages concentrated attendance, minimising alterations to planned rotas and reduces the impact upon the services provided by the Trust. 6.2 Corporate Induction Programme New staff will normally be required to attend the Corporate Induction Programme on the first day of their employment. In exceptional circumstances, staff may attend at a later date as long as it is within the first 3 months of employment, subject to approval Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Page 4 of 15

of the application for exception being made to the HR & OD Department in advance of the date of commencement. See Section 7.2 for details. The Corporate Induction Programme has been designed to reflect the needs of the new employee and Trust requirements. The programme is a half-day, usually provided on alternate Monday mornings. The programme is available on the HR/OD section of the Intranet. The minimum content is described in Appendix 1. A Trust representative who is competent in the topic being presented delivers the Corporate Induction Programme. Quality assurance is undertaken by the HR & OD Department for all sessions.

7 Booking and Compliance 7.1 Records Management Attendance at Corporate Induction and Initial Mandatory Training for all staff groups will be recorded using the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and the Oracle Learner Management System (OLM). The HR & OD department will manage booking and attendance recording for the Corporate Induction and Initial Mandatory Training Programmes for all staff and will book a place on the first available induction date upon receiving a request to appoint a new member of staff from the line manager. An offer letter is sent to the successful candidate from HR & Well Being Business Services confirming the appointment and date to attend Corporate Induction. A follow up letter with the Corporate Induction programme enclosed is sent at a later date from the Induction Co-ordinator. Divisions and Corporate Departments will be charged for staff non-attendance on the Corporate Induction Programme and/or the Initial Mandatory Training Programmes, in accordance with the Trust s Learning and Development Policy, with the exception of Flexibank Staff. In the event that an individual fails to attend, this is identified on the sign in sheet and the Induction Co-ordinator informs the HR & Well Being Business Services, who will follow up non-attendance. Attendance information for Corporate Induction is alerted to line managers through the DNA (did not attend) process. Initial Mandatory Training for all staff is incorporated into the Quarterly Mandatory Risk Management and Individual Review Performance and Alert Reports. This must be used by line managers to follow up non attendance the HR & OD Department to assess action required based upon capacity and demand for the following quarter managers to take action to ensure that all staff comply with this Policy. Line managers are responsible for recording completion of the core and specific Local Induction requirements by completing the local induction checklist during their induction period. An initial Individual review should be completed at the end of the first 3 months for new staff and that the completion date is notified to the HROD Department for compliance reporting via the electronic notification form which can be found in the 10 Most Useful section on the homepage of the intranet by clicking on KSF and Individual review, then click on the IR notification box. The HR & OD Department through the HR & Well Being Business Services will contact all new starters who have a permanent post 3 months after commencement of employment to confirm that the Local Induction has been undertaken. This will be recorded on the compliance tracker in the HR & Well Being Business Services. For temporary staff, a Basic Induction Record Card (Appendix 3) will need to be signed by the manager and submitted to Staffing Solutions department within HR & Well Being Business Services at Countess of Chester Hospital with the first payment request/timesheet for the individual. Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Page 6 of 15

Performance against both of these compliance processes for local induction will be reported by Division as part of the Quarterly Performance and Alert Report to the WCPB and in the event of non compliance, HR & Well Being Business Services will alert line managers who are expected to follow up non completion. 7.2 Exceptions All newly appointed staff to the Trust is required to comply with the Trust s Safe Employment Policy, and to have attended the Trust Corporate Induction programme, following which they will undertake the initial mandatory training required for their post, prior to commencing in the role. In cases where line managers have been unable to secure a place on the Corporate Induction or Initial Mandatory Training Programme prior to the new employees proposed start date, and, where delay in appointment would cause operational difficulties, the line manager must submit an Exceptions Request to the HR & Well Being Business Services using the pro forma attached at Appendix 4, if they wish the member of staff to commence prior to Corporate Induction taking place. This requires the line manager to submit a written statement undertaking that the necessary risk management procedures will be put in place and that the individual concerned will be appropriately supervised. All staff who are subject to an Exception must complete the Corporate Induction and Initial Mandatory Training within the first 3 months of employment within the role. 7.3 Compliance Reporting Compliance against the Policy will be monitored using non-compliance as the denominator. It is recognised that there will be a level of non-compliance with initial mandatory training and local induction, which is acceptable (e.g. sickness absence). This level will be determined on an annual basis, informed by risk levels, absence levels and improvement objectives. This may be applied universally or by subject or staff group and will be subject to approval by the Workforce and Communications Programme Board. Non Compliance will be reported as follows: Workforce and Communications Programme Board Quarterly Performance Report; Divisional Management Boards Quarterly Performance and Alert Report; Line Managers non compliance alert for corporate and local induction via the DNA process and quarterly performance and alert report for Initial mandatory training. 7.4 Attendance and Compliance Management It is the Manager s responsibility to ensure attendance at or completion of all aspects of induction. Completion of Local Induction is required as part of the Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF) for non-medical staff and as part the portfolio assessment for medical staff. It is essential that managers responsible for Individual Review/Appraisal are conversant with the up to date requirements for the member of staff to be reviewed/appraised.

In order to provide a control and assurance mechanism, the HR & Organisational Development Department, using the Electronic Staff Record (ESR), informed by the Oracle Learning Management System (OLM) tracks attendance/compliance with Corporate Induction. HR/OD is responsible for producing Performance and Alert Reports in accordance with Section 7.3 and will assist in the management of bookings and breaches wherever possible, either by managing bookings or by realigning/increasing capacity. Managers receive notification of non-attendance (DNA), together with the appropriate charge as detailed in section 7.1 of this policy. It is the responsibility of line managers to manage non-attendance using the appropriate performance management policy or procedure. In addition to non-attendance confirmation, managers receive non compliance alert for corporate and local induction and performance and alert report for Initial mandatory training, which should be used to facilitate planning of attendance and to validate the records. As detailed in Section 7.1, the HR & OD Department will contact all new staff following 3 months in employment to confirm that the Local Induction has been undertaken. For temporary staff, a Basic Induction Record Card must have been submitted with the first payment request/timesheet for the individual. Performance against both of these compliance processes will be reported as part of the Quarterly Performance and Alert Report to the Workforce and Communications Programme Board. Divisional Management Boards (DMB) receive Quarterly Performance and Alert Reports highlighting current non compliance levels for Corporate Induction and DNA rate for the division. The also receive non compliance for mandatory risk management training inclusive of initial mandatory training and potential non compliance during the next quarter. DMBs are expected to discuss, agree and minute actions where compliance is not achieved at DMB meetings. 8 References NHSLA Risk Management Standards Care Quality Commission Standards Trust Policy 124 Mandatory Training Policy Trust Policy 136 Safe Employment Policy Trust Policy 180 Learning and Development Policy Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Page 8 of 15
