×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog

Are you recruiting a new staff member?

As a line manager you play a crucial role in ensuring your new starter has an effective induction experience.

Whether your new starter is new to the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog or transferring from another work area, an effective induction helps them to feel welcome, to have a positive experience of the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog and their work area, and to feel well equipped for achieving success in their role, right from the beginning of their employment.

Managing the Induction Process

Induction at the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog of Adelaide is managed through checklists and agendas.

The checklists are your go-to-guide for the tasks you need to complete as your new starter’s line manager at each stage of the induction process (i.e. before your new starter commences, on their first day, during their first week, their first month, and up to their third month of employment).

The checklists replace the induction reminders you previously received through the Recruitment System.

The agendas provide your new starter with an overview of the activities they will undertake during their induction. They need to be populated and personalised prior to being provided to your new starter upon commencement.

You can access these tools, and other induction resources on theÌýManaging the Induction ProcessÌýwebpage.

As part of their induction, your new starter will be required to complete a number of online induction courses. The courses, which need to be completed within the first three months of your new starter’s employment, provide your new starter with important information they need to know within the context of the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog. You can view the courses your staff member will be required to complete on theÌýInduction CoursesÌýwebpage.

Induction Coordinator

As your new starter’s line manager, you have overall responsibility for managing their induction into their role, work area, and the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog. You may however, choose to engage the assistance of a local team member as the ‘Induction Coordinator’ and delegate to them some of the administrative tasks associated with induction. Such tasks may, for example, include setting up the workstation, scheduling meetings, taking the new starter to get their staff ID card, and conducting tours and introductions.

For further information about induction roles and responsibilities please refer to theÌýManaging the Induction ProcessÌý webpage.
