Yes, I think the intention is good, but the implementation needs work. Almost immediately after introduction in early 2017 it has had issues ever since… and purging the waitlists is not a new issue for example:
- https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/t/inductions-waiting-lists-purge/7928
- Inductions Revisited, Revised ---> SOLVED (?)!
- Howto: schedule an induction session
- Inductions process issues
etc…
We need to change the process to make both techs and members happy and ensure we get members inducted efficiently especially as we ramp up post covid. Now, let’s consider the trial discussed here (removal after every induction) closed and we will try something different to manage waiting lists and get inductions moving.
The other issue is the confusion of waiting list handling being different across the areas of the space. So after speaking to some of the other current inductors we are going to organise a meeting to define a new trial process that is consistent across all the areas and will hopefully improve the experience for both members and techs.
Stay Tuned!
