Aware presence was to be a main theme through out the meeting.

När vi tog kontakt med AB Halmstads Gummifabrik uttryckte de ett behov kring att kunna stärka tillhörigheten och minska den organisatoriska tvetydigheten hos den inhyrda personalen. De individer som hyrs in via bemanningsföretag har idag till skillnad från tidigare blivit en accepterad del av arbetskraften. Studien syfte har varit att empiriskt undersöka vad som är centralt, för så väl företaget som för inhyrd, vid kundföretagets introduktion av inhyrd personal. Vidare har vi även utifrån resultatet och tidigare forskning analyserat hur arbetsgivaren vid introduktionen kan arbeta för att motverka eventuell organisatorisk tvetydighet för den inhyrda personalen.Studiens empiriska material har samlats in genom sex stycken kvalitativa intervjuer med arbetsledning, inhyrd personal, tillsvidareanställd personal och fackliga representanter. Under studiens gång har vi även genomfört en observation på arbetsplatsen. Resultatet visar att introduktionsutbildningens utformning är av stor vikt då den i slutändan påverkar organisationsidentiteten.
