Summary

Post Placement Support (PPS) is a great way of gathering intelligence that can drive a strong plan to ensure job seekers maximise their sustainable employment opportunity. This task should not be a “tick a box” exercise, it is a critical component to ensure we are identifying any red flags that exist within early stages of employment and act upon them accordingly. If performed correctly, PPS will be seen as a genuine value add to your employers customer service experience and will provide a support mechanism for the new employee as they enter into a new environment.

What’s being covered

Be Prepared – Go in with a plan that is tailored to the employee      

Transparency and Clarity – Is the Employer / Employee clear on the benefits of spending the time to answer these questions?
