In maintaining an easily accessible online environment we provide an onboarding program for all new employees. This is designed to help you:
- settle into life at DEEWR
- understand the responsibilities of your role
- know what it means to be a DEEWR employee
- know what it means to be a member of the Australian Public Service
The Four Stages of Onboarding
The process is completed primarily online and consists of four stages.
- Stage 1 - Pre-employment: This stage begins two weeks before you start. Once your offer of employment is accepted and confirmed you will receive an email with a link to an introductory e-learning module that you will be asked to complete prior to your first day with us. This stage also prompts your manager to make preparation for your arrival.
- Stage 2 - First Six Weeks: This stage is completed during your first 1 – 6 weeks and provides you with information and links to relevant documents sites, policies and procedures.
- Stage 3 - Meet and Greet Session: This stage takes place sometime in weeks 3 – 4 of your employment and provides you with the opportunity to meet the Secretary or her Representative, a member of People Group and other new employees.
- Stage 4 - 12 Week Check-In: This final stage takes place after 12 weeks of employment. This is an assessment stage to check if your expectations and those of the department have been met.
