Abstract
Anyone joining an organisation needs to find out quickly how the organisation is structured and how it works. If you think back to joining the College, you will realise how important this was to you. You needed to know what group you were in, who was in charge of that group, what the rules of attendance and work were, what was expected of you and by what criteria your work was going to be measured. The list, we suspect, probably seemed endless. The first few days in any organisation are all about issues like these. Many organisations, College included, realise this and organise induction sessions for their new members to familiarise themselves with the basic characteristics of the organisation.
