How to keep great staff: induction for retention

Effective onboarding is not just the responsibility of your HR Team!  The onboarding experience can run for up to three months and all team members are involved in making the experience of newcomers good … or bad.

This workshop will give you the chance to unpack why it is so important to onboard new staff effectively.  With 1 in 5 employees unlikely to recommend their workplace to their network after onboarding and 1 in 6 new hires leaving between 1-12 weeks, it is no wonder we need to ensure we get this right.  Join us as we explore what makes for an effective onboarding experience and ensure you increase employee retention, productivity and engagement.

Council Meetings - 3 Part Webinar Series 

Part one: Tuesday 28 October

Council Meeting Agendas

A good meeting agenda is crucial to legislative complaint and good decision-making. This webinar will outline: what has to go into a meeting agenda from both compliance and good governance perspectives; and when and how must they be published. It will also provide tips for formulating agendas which facilitate smooth running of the meeting and provide a framework for good decision-making.

Part two: Wednesday 29 October

Council Meetings

There are many rules and processes which apply to council meetings – some of which are captured in standing orders.  Having a sound understanding of these allows council officers to keep meetings running smoothly and avoid later issues.  This webinar will work through the mechanics of council meetings and provide advice on how best to prepare to oversee a meeting and thereby apply meeting rules and processes seamlessly as they are required.

Part three: Thursday 30 October

Council Meeting Minutes

In addition to the statutory rules relating to the publication of meeting minutes, council meeting minutes are an important record which officers often must rely on in undertaking their duties.  Managing the balance between publishing comprehensive and clear minutes that are not open to interpretation and avoiding verbatim reporting which creates division and is time consuming to read, can be difficult.  This webinar will explore the ‘must do’ obligations for publishing council minutes and also the best practice approaches which go beyond ticking the compliance box and ensure minutes are provide an effective record for all officers and stakeholders who are relying on them.

Time: 10:00am - 11:15am
