STAFF INDUCTION PROCEDURES

RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of the Coordinator to ensure that all new employees participate
in an induction program.
The Coordinator ensures that:
•! an induction kit (electronic or hard copy) is developed, containing relevant
documents, including information about WTS policies;
•! the induction kit is kept up to date with relevant information;
•! the quality of the induction process is maintained.

PROCEDURES
The Coordinator must schedule all new employees to attend an induction on their
first day of employment, nominating the area where the induction will be conducted,
and ensuring all necessary resources are available.
In cases where a new employee cannot be inducted by the Coordinator, the
Coordinator must arrange for an appropriate person to carry out the task.
An appropriate amount of time and expenditure should be used to ensure that all of
the required information is communicated to the new employee such as
Occupational Health & Safety requirements, duties to be undertaken, dealing with
clients/customers, physical layout of the site, etc. This will ensure that employees
can work safely and represent the organisation effectively.
The Coordinator should tailor the induction program to suit the needs of the
employee(s) being inducted and provide the appropriate information to the new
employee(s).
The Coordinator is responsible for following up the employee’s induction during the
first week and month as indicated on the Induction Checklist (see Appendix A).
The Coordinator should work through an Induction Checklist for each new employee,
ticking each item as it is addressed and crossing out those items not applicable.
They should ensure that they and the new employee sign the Induction Checklist on
completion.
