Overview
New starters rarely read a forty-page handbook before day one, and HR ends up repeating the same answers. This deck presents the essentials in ten slides for an induction session: a welcome, your values, a four-week plan, pay and leave, conduct and the people to ask. The full handbook stays as the reference.
The sample follows Birchfield Group, a fictional employer with five sites. It shows a 25 to 28 day leave scale, a 3 month probation, 13 weeks of full sick pay and a 6% employer pension contribution. Replace the name, welcome words, figures and contacts with your own, and check each rule against current employment law.
Useful for
- A Monday induction for eight new starters, with the handbook as the follow-up reference
- A manager walking a new team member through leave, sickness and conduct rules in the first week
- An HR refresher at a site meeting after the handbook is revised
What's included
- Cover and a welcome slide with a photo, setting out what happens on the first day
- Values slide with four working principles and a note on how they are used
- Four-week roadmap covering admin, systems, team and review
- Chart slide showing annual leave rising from 25 to 28 days with service
- Time off cards for annual leave, booking, sickness and sick pay
- Conduct columns, a six-person help slide, a guide slide and a closing contacts slide

Questions
Does this deck replace the full employee handbook?
No. It presents the essentials for an induction session and points people to the full handbook, which holds the detailed policies and the acknowledgement page.
Are the organisation, people and figures real?
No. Birchfield Group, the named staff, the email addresses and every figure are fictional sample content. Replace them with your own terms before use.
Do I need to check the leave and notice figures?
Yes. The figures are examples. Check each one against your contracts and current employment law, ideally with a lawyer or adviser, before you present them.
