Tiivistelmä
The aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to fulfil the demand for a handbook designed for interns and their orientation process at The Finnish Institute in London. The Finnish Institute’s employee turnover is rapid and multiple new interns start at different times, therefore an efficient training process is essential. In addition to this, the handbook also provides new interns with information about various things to consider when relocating to a new country full of new and sometimes confusing aspects such as living arrangements and the health care system. The handbook will be founded in the organization’s office and internal platform.
The research was executed in both qualitative and quantitative methods in the form of a survey and face-to-face interviews. Concepts focused on in this thesis consist of employee training, human reasource management and learning methods. The theoretical framework of this thesis consists of cultural dimensions in the case of cultural differences of the United Kingdom and Finland.
Due to confidentiality reasons the handbook is not included in the thesis report, however, it is mentioned in the appendices.
