Assessment Task 5 Instructions

Carefully read the following:

It is now two weeks later and Maggie, the new Accounts Manager will be commencing her employment the

following week.

You have decided that to improve the induction process, an induction checklist should be completed.

Complete the following tasks:

1. Develop an induction checklist and train staff in the use of the checklist

Research and develop an induction checklist that could be used by Grow Consultants for any new staff

member. The induction checklist should be approximately one to two pages and include brief guidance to

managers about completing the checklist. Use the Fair Work Australia induction checklist to assist you in

developing your checklist.

Assume that you are required to provide training to staff in the use of the new induction checklist. As the

Principal Consultant is just about to provide Maggie’s induction, meet with the Principal Consultant (your

assessor) to explain the use of the induction checklist and to provide an overview of the induction process

as per the recruitment, selection and induction policy and procedure.

Your assessor will advise you of the date of the meeting. You should bring a printed copy of the induction

checklist to the meeting to provide to the Principal Consultant, as well as have a copy for yourself to refer to.

During the meeting, you will be required to demonstrate effective communication skills, including speaking

clearly and responding to questions as required. The Principal Consultant will ask you at least one question

and will also suggest an improvement to your checklist

Following the meeting, send a short email to the Principal Consultant with the updated induction checklist

attached and a summary of the information discussed at the meeting. Your email should indicate that

ongoing support can be provided as required.

2. Provide feedback to probationary employee

Review the following information:

It is a month later and you meet with the Principal Consultant to discuss Maggie’s performance as she is on

a 3-month probation. The Principal Consultant indicates that while he is happy with Maggie’s performance

overall, she doesn’t seem to be as productive and motivated as he would like. He explains that she

sometimes seems to be waiting for direction instead of getting on with things

Complete the following tasks:

Develop a suitable script for your role-play meeting with Maggie (your assessor), including the purpose of

the meeting, probationary terms, feedback to be provided. Ensure your script allows for Maggie to provide

feedback. Your assessor will advise you of the date and time of the meeting.

3. Develop recommendations for improving the induction process

Assume that based on the outcome of the meeting above, one of the improvements you decide to make is

to the induction process in terms of extending the process beyond an induction on the first day. You have

heard that an effective induction process for new employees can extend over the probation period so you

decide to research strategies that other companies are using. Conduct this research to inform the email you

need to send below. Give clear examples.

Following your review, develop an email sent to the Principal Consultant (your assessor) that outlines

recommendations for improving the induction process as documented in the organisation’s recruitment,

selection and induction policy and procedure.

Amend the induction process in the recruitment, selection and induction policy and procedure based on

feedback provided your assessor in a return email. Update the policy and procedure and return it to your

assessor via email.

4. Check induction processes are being followed

The final part of this assessment process requires you to check that induction processes are being correctly

followed by all staff involved in conducting inductions across the organisation.

Assume that you have a report from human resources that gives information on inductions that have been

conducted and that you want to check that they have been conducted according to the required timeframe,

which is within one week of the employee’s commencement of employment and then a further follow up

induction within one month of the employee’s induction.

Review the Induction Data Report provided to you. As there is at least one instance of an induction

processes not being completed as required, send an email to the staff member outlining the issues,

restating timelines and offering further training and ongoing support as required.
