The exploratory research design has used for conducting research. A total of 30 new joiners who underwent induction training in the month of June at a leading offshore services provider organization based at India, participated as respondents in the study. The results indicated and that the new joiners were in all satisfied with the induction training program. The new joiners felt that the induction training will help them to do their job effectively. However some areas were identified where minute changes could benefit the value generated by the induction training program.

This research offers insight into whether differences in age and gender can affect the perception formed about the induction training program. It has been found through the medium of this research that, there is no association of gender with perception of new joiners towards work life balance and that there is a relationship between age and perception of attainment of professional goals of new joiners.

Since global firms devote significant sums of time and money training their new employees, the greater understanding of the process results in improved effectiveness of induction training programs.
