The term security originated during World War II and referred to the necessity of selecting employees on the basis of proven loyalty, abstinence from membership (present and/or past) in subversive organizations, and citizenship. Due to the \”cold war\” and the political philosophy that peace can be maintained by only armament and the resulting continuous development and construction of new weapons, a large segment of industry is engaged in work connected with \”defense.\” The nature of nuclear fission and the belief that secrecy should be and can be maintained has resulted in the continuance of securing proper \”clearance\” for prospective employees by a loyalty check in sensitive positions, plants, and industries.

It is unnecessary to point out that in order to work effectively, an individual must be happy in his work. So much of this happiness depends upon his initial introduction to the work.

Too often after he has been told to report for work, the new employee comes in, is told to sit at a desk, and informed that a little later he will be instructed in what to do.

Ideally, the new worker should be greeted by his boss, who should carefully tell him what his name is and carefully make certain that he understands the worker name and its proper pronunciation. He should then sit down with him in a not hurried fashion and break the ice by getting into a little personal discussion, particularly if the worker is new to the community, as he may well be. The boss should then present him with a complete set of written rules governing such things as lunch hours, time off, vacation, pay days, and so forth and, even better, explain the rules of the company to him as well. Somebody must tell the worker about essential regulations, such as punching the clock. Many a worker has discovered at the end of the first week that he cannot get paid because nobody told him the proper routine of checking in; as far as the company payroll is concerned, he is nonexistent. The worker must be made to feel that he is accepted as part of a family. Someone must look after him. Someone must tell him about the various places to eat if the plant has no cafeteria of its own. Someone must tell him about parking regulations, if any. Someone must tell him all about the time card technique. Someone must tell him about overtime rules, when overtime is authorized, by whom, and under what circumstances. Somebody must tell him about any particular plans that are available for hospitalization, sick benefits, pension plans, or anything else that is connected with working for the company. The worker should never be left in such a situation that he makes the classic remark, \”Why doesn\’t somebody tell me these things?\” Induction also includes a certain amount of clerical detail, such as the completion of records for income tax deduction and social security, and the listing of beneficiaries under any company insurance plans. It must include also any regulations that are the result of a contract entered into with the union.
