"The
transition from being an employee to being an employer can be very
difficult.
I
assumed that
I would pick this up as I go along. I discovered
that this was a dangerous course of action.
Recruiting
and managing staff was almost a challenge too far for me....if I'd
known then what I know now, I could have saved myself considerable
hassle"

EMPLOYING
PEOPLE
People are the most important assets of a business. The success
of a business depends on having people with the right skills and abilities,
so it is worth investing time and effort in recruiting good staff. To
help ensure that the right people are recruited in the first place,
a fair, structured, and professional recruitment and selection process
must be used. Poor selection decisions can result in increased staff
turnover, increased costs, lower morale amongst the existing staff,
and legal claims against a business. Additionally, the right induction
processes are vital to help ensure that a new employee becomes effective
in the shortest possible time. It is also important to adopt employment
practices that promote an effective, harmonious, fair and non-discriminating
working environment.
The
aim of this workshop is to provide you with information and advice that
will help increase your chances of selecting the right staff, and meet
employment legislation requirements. The workshop also covers issues
relating to managing staff and dealing with employees leaving. The specific
topics covered in this module are:
- An
Overview of Recruitment & Selection
- Preparing
to Recruit
- Recruitment

- Starting
an Employee
