ONLINE INDUCTION SYSTEM

Online induction system is an online system that manages and reporting induction program for new employee in order to exposed them to the new environment and culture of the organization. This system will provide the overview of employee’s rights and policies of the company with the guidelines. The main function of online induction system is to increase the level of understanding of vision, mission and objectives among new employee in the organization. Through this system, it will help new comers to recognize and memorize easily about the management chart such as top, middle management and their own colleagues and also gain knowledge and skills framework outline needed for their job. Besides that, the function for online induction system is to develop training to the employee. One of the application in the online induction system is T&D. According to Blanchard and Thacker (2010), training is the organized and systematic process of providing an opportunity to learn KSAs for current or future jobs.

There have a lot of benefits by using online induction system which it is really can save cost and time. The new employee can access the system anytime at anywhere to get useful information related to either their job description or information about entire organization. This system is very flexible and easy for new employee to access the system which just key in their ID and password. In addition, online induction system also gives advantage by engage new employees with the attractive and use-friendly online interface. Uses online induction system really can help the organization to save the budget and cost for conducting induction program since that conducting manual induction program is really need high budget. Besides that, this system is easy to compliance, manage and report.  

The disadvantage for this system is lack of supervision where the system should supposedly need person in charge to manage and update the system for every time. Lack of supervision will cause the system become not aligned with the mission of the induction program. Disadvantage for online induction system is also high probability to lose the data. It might be cause of virus or spyware will caused the information were corrupted or lose. Technological complication also one of the disadvantage for online induction system where let say the internet connection were down so it is hard for the new employee to access and upload the information provided in the system.

After study this topic I really understand what is actually online induction program and I get opportunity to learn about the component and application in this system which give me wide exposed in HRIS field. Technologies really help in supporting effective management in organization.
