This induction resource from eLife was developed specifically to support you with designing a programme for new members of staff, research students, or visitors to your lab, to help them get off to a better and more productive start. It includes:
- First day checklists
- Real examples of documentation setting out policies, practicalities and expectations
- Reflective questions to help you better articulate some of the unwritten rules of how you do things in your lab.
What will you take forward?
One thing to consider: Are there unwritten rules in your lab that you assume people will pick up, and what would change if they were named explicitly?
