Summary
In a complicated and constantly changing industry, giving the right support to new staff is critical so they can hit the ground running and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Our Employment Services Industry jobactive Employment Consultant Induction series can help them feel comfortable and understand the industry context and framework that they are now working in. This will help you to retain staff and to avoid having to go through the costly recruitment process again. Our aim is to assist them to settle in quickly and become productive as soon as they can. The series will also be useful for existing staff that need a refresher or are returning to work after a long absence (such as maternity or long service leave).
Our jobactive Employment Consultant Induction coaching program has a focus on the jobactive program core elements and the soft skills required for positive client engagement, job placement and effective post placement support. The sessions are full of observed good practices, tips and advice.
Over three webinar sessions, John Francis will comprehensively introduce staff to the good practice soft skills essential to an effective and efficient employment services delivery. The webinars will take participants through a range of strategies, while also touching on KPI measures and compliance requirements. The model of delivery for this coaching program requires learners to “learn by doing”. Our training is operational and complimentary to your internal induction programs.
