Induction, briefing and training

• Induction - explaining the values of the organisation, standard terms and conditions of employment.
• Briefing - explaining the role that the staff member is expected to undertake based on their existing skills and experience.
• Training - providing new skills so that staff can do their job better.

In emergencies induction is often forgotten, briefings are too hasty and training is never given because of a lack of time and opportunity. Worst is when you are at the Ministerial and executive level in a Ministry that is responsible for the country's future and education of future leaders. Its been an accepted practice at this level to just do briefings and induction for a national educational reform projects at the school level, minus or minimal training of the driving force of change..the teachers...Good luck guys...and be responsible for your decisions...
