It's important to communicate staffing changes, such as a new staff member starting
or an existing one changing roles, to other staff members. Existing staff can support
a new staff member throughout the induction process (e.g. by explaining key duties
and helping set up their workspace).
Inductions will vary depending on whether the staff member is new or they are an
existing staff member switching roles or returning from a long absence.
Employers must provide a copy of the Fair Work Information Statement before, or as
soon as possible after, they start their new job. The statement provides new staff
members with information about their conditions of employment.
The first day for a new staff member at your business is particularly important. You
will want to make the new staff member feel welcome and enthusiastic about their
new job.
Ongoing induction
The ongoing induction for new staff will include specific details about processes,
tasks and equipment related to their role. Some staff may need training as part of
their induction. This may be for specific equipment or processes. You might also
have specific work health and safety training obligations for inductions, depending on
the role.
Staff returning to work after a long absence, such as from maternity or long service
leave or after injury, may need a refresher induction to explain any new or updated
processes and equipment.
