success. To enable all staff to become effective and efficient in their role as quickly as
possible, it is essential that all staff new to the SGC, or the role, receive a timely induction.
The Staff Orientation and Induction Policy sets out the SGC commitment to engage new staff
effectively with the University, their Faculty and to ensure Managers, Academic Heads and
staff to understand the importance of orientation and induction, and their responsibilities.

it. Ultimately it is the responsibility of the senior management in the Superior Group of
Colleges, including Heads of Departments, in conjunction with HR.
