Course Overview

For many new employees, “onboarding” is a 30-minute introduction on the day they commence employment. No wonder so many new employees become confused, challenged and even disillusioned within a few weeks of joining a new organisation.

You will learn during this training that onboarding is different from conducting an employee induction. Unlike an orientation, onboarding is an integration process that not only provides the information that new hires need and also ensures that they become actively involved as quickly as possible.

If you want to give every new employee, whether they are full-time, part-time, casual or a volunteer, the opportunity of understanding everything they need to know to fulfil the role, then this training is essential for any supervisor, team leader or manager.

Why Learn Online?

Learning new skills online can be perfect for organisations and employees for the following reasons:

You only have one or a few employees to train and develop (on a specific training topic)
Getting a trainer to your location could be difficult or cost-prohibitive
The employees you want to train work from home or are part-time
You don’t have the resources to cover for the employees you want to be trained, so allowing them to the training online means they won’t need to leave their work areas
Your training budget is limited, and online learning is more cost-effective
You want your people trained in a wide range of skills this year,’s online learning provides much better value to get everyone involved in learning and developing themselves.
