Having been on a few inductions now since joining and noting the perennial ‘availability/throughput’ issues we seem to have. Have we explored and/or thought about trying to use any form of media/video content to lighten the load?
Particularly where the induction involves a lot of one way information delivery. If alot of the content was available as a video it might be possible to structure inductions in a format along the lines of
-inductees gather at the space for induction as they do now
-inductee group is parked in front of a video giving the core messages
-induction is finished off immediately after with a shorter ‘live/interactive’ bit and possibly Q&A to check key messages landed during the video bit.
Might allow higher induction throughput if say, group A arrives watches video. Group A then gets the ‘live’ bit while group B watches the video. Group B has their live bit on the back of the A session
There may even be some general tool primer/instruction videos floating around YouTube already that the appropriate tech could assess as fit for purpose…
Another advantage is if there is ever a period without / between techs as they come and go or even a long lull in demand for a tool, that bit of the induction can sit on the shelf until needed
Thoughts?
