Many people have misunderstood the true role of induction training. In many enterprises, induction training belongs to the training system and is also a matter managed by the human resources management department. In fact, the training system is the category of human resource management, but the induction training is not. Induction training really belongs to the scope of corporate culture. When many companies are building their own corporate culture, they often emphasize the importance of institutional texts, CIs, activities, heroes, and other forms. But what I want to say is that the first step in the construction of corporate culture is actually induction training. Why do you say that?

1. The carrying of corporate culture can only be people, employees of the enterprise. Regardless of the superficial text, the system, or the general behavioral guidelines and common cognitions and attitudes within the enterprise, all employees are required to express it. Therefore, when we are building a corporate culture, we must keep in mind that only those that can affect the behavior of employees are the real corporate culture building. Many companies 'corporate culture construction has no effect and is in the form. The most important thing is that the construction is not based on the impact on employees' behavior. It is good to have copywriting, reports, meetings, and communications. Then we think that the first moment that each company has an impact on employees' future behavior is when employees are doing on-the-job training. Through induction training, letting employees understand the company, understanding the code of conduct, and understanding the outstanding seniors of the company are all important links to promote employees' recognition of corporate culture.

2. The genes transmitted by corporate culture are an important part of corporate culture construction. The genes that we summarize for corporate culture transmission include language, words, normative systems, heroic deeds, activities and behaviors of others. And the transmission of cultural genes between employees will be hindered a lot. Important obstacles include the behavior of colleagues who deviate from the corporate culture, their own habits and deviating corporate strategies and management. These obstacles to the transfer of corporate culture genes are not true except for their own behaviors during onboarding training. Therefore, when it comes to induction training, it is the best opportunity for the spread of corporate culture genes.

3. The target of induction training is new employees. Regardless of whether the so-called new employee is really new to the workplace, in a new company, every new employee wants to know more about where they work. It can be said that I want to be actively cultivated by the corporate culture and hope to be integrated into a team as soon as possible. At this time, new employees will deliberately weaken their behavioral habits, and are more inclined to adopt the old habits established in the new enterprise. This is also very conducive to the construction of corporate culture.
