Abstract

This study investigates the impact of employee induction on organizational harmony, with specific reference to Zenith Bank Plc Sapele. The research explores how structured onboarding programs influence workplace relationships, employee integration, and overall organizational cohesion. The study adopted a descriptive survey design using a structured questionnaire distributed to employees of Zenith Bank Plc, Sapele branch. Data collected were analyzed using percentage distribution and chi-square statistical tools to test the hypotheses. Findings revealed that effective employee induction programs significantly contribute to organizational harmony by clarifying job roles, promoting early socialization, reducing conflicts, and improving employee commitment. The study concludes that induction is a vital human resource strategy that fosters a positive work environment and strengthens organizational stability. Based on the findings, it was recommended that organizations develop comprehensive induction frameworks, engage departmental heads in onboarding activities, and continuously evaluate the effectiveness of their induction processes to ensure alignment with organizational goals.
