Thanks to PIRC for the original version from which this process was adapted.
Rich
Rich loves design, facilitation and org-systems tinkering. He’s an activist and campaigner and has worked at PIRC for almost 15 years through various organisational incarnations, including a flat management structure for the last 7 years. He’s also been involved in housing coops, helping found one in Machynlleth, and supporting others, especially with policies and finance.
For many years Rich has wanted to be a librarian of more radical organisational policies and practices. Finally, working with Kiran and Liam, his time has come! Take a seat, get comfortable and tell us: what was the first organisational practice you ever fell in love with?
So I was the first person (I think) at RadHR to use this checklist, as I am the first of the Core Team to come onboard post-RadHR’s initial setting up period.
I found it really useful in terms of how it laid everything out + really appreciated the reading list especially (as I tend to learn best by taking in docs/reading through stuff at my own pace), but it’s got me curious as to whether anyone else on the forum has particular methods or induction processes they’ve used and found helpful for them/their orgs? Or if there are particular approaches to induction that you/groups you’ve been in have gravitated towards… more/less formal, more/less codified, etc.?
Another thing I wondered about was the time other groups tend to allot for the actual induction period, as it definitely feels like the space/time needed to feel ‘embedded’ in a group always ends up taking longer than we think it will.
Glad to see this is finally up, yay!
