Mastering Council Onboarding | strategies for success
Effective onboarding ensures the seamless integration of new members into your council. A well-structured onboarding process not only facilitates a smooth transition but also lays the foundation for long-term success.
Join WorkNest for a free 60-minute session where our hosts will explore key strategies for successful onboarding tailored to the unique demands of a council. Plus, with recent changes to employment law and more on their way under the new Labour government, how might this impact your council’s onboarding process?
10 October, 2.00 pm - 3.00 pm
Onboarding issues often stem from inadequate training, unclear expectations and poor communication. These problems can leave new members feeling unprepared and uncertain about their roles. A successful and positive onboarding process is key to avoiding confusion and keeping new starters engaged.
Additionally, 2024 has brought significant changes to employment law and HR. With new legislation already in effect, evolving best practices, and impending changes from the new government, staying informed is crucial to successful onboardings.
Hosted by WorkNest’s Employment Law Adviser and Solicitor, Kimberly Moss, and Senior Consultant, Christian Vincent, the free one-hour session will explore everything you need to know to conduct a correct onboarding process within your council.
What's on the agenda?
- 2024 changes: Understand the changes that have been put in place this year, their impact, and what this means for your council. 2024 has been a busy year for employment law, and with further changes planned, it’s important to stay informed.
- Effective recruitment: Discover the key components of an effective recruitment process, the importance of getting recruitment right from the outset, and what documentation all councils need to have in place.
- Managing onboarding: Find out why a clear and detailed probation clause and policy is vital, and the process behind this key step. Plus, learn how to conduct a successful probationary period whilst actively assessing the suitability of your new recruit.
Have a question for our hosts?
If you have a specific query on any of the above topics in relation to your council that you would like our hosts to answer, submit it when signing up using the form – we’ll address as many as we can at the end of the session.
