Your new staff member should start working through the areas of Staff Induction when they first commence in your team. Addressing a new appointee’s expectations at this early stage will help to reduce new starter anxiety; foster positive attitudes; increase staff morale and commitment to the organisation; reduce turnover; and work towards early achievement in productivity and job proficiency.

Your role

To help prepare for a new starter, and to ensure your team is ready for their commencement from day one, there are a couple of resources to use and complete:

We have also provided your new starter with a list of items on how to get started at ECU as part of their staff induction. Your role is to support their commencement at ECU and provide assistance where needed.

Items for you to complete prior to commencement

Staff number

Each staff member is given a unique staff number when they commence working at ECU.  Once Payroll has processed the employee’s contract, an email will be sent to the Line Supervisor to confirm the employee’s Staff Number.

The staff number is required to request Additional Computer System Access and to request changes for Office Allocation.

On commencement an employee will automatically be provided with an ADS login, providing them an ECU email account and access to the Intranet.

To apply for additional Computer System Access including printers, shared folders and other system applications, please request this via the Digital and Campus Services Kiosk.

In addition to your new starter reading these online documents it is important that you discuss the University, and work unit behaviour expectations. You can take the opportunity to discuss issues such as lunch and short breaks, dress code, working hours and flexibility.

Probation

A probationary period is an extremely important transition into the University for new starters. The provisions regarding probation for Academic and Professional staff are developed in the Collective Agreement and policies.

During probation, you will need to assess the employee’s ability to meet the work requirements. If the employee is not performing at the required level during probation they may be terminated. For advice on termination read the relevant clauses (cl. 8 Academic Staff, cl. 7 Professional Staff) in the Collective Agreement.

We suggest that during your discussion regarding probation, work objectives are set for your new starter. These work objectives will contribute to their review at the end of their probationary period.

For more information, refer to the Enterprise Agreement or contact your People and Culture Business Partner.

Performance management

The Management for Performance (MPS) system is an initiative that supports ECU's goal to strengthen our leadership capacity and build a strong performance culture amongst our employees. These strategic priorities provide the context and organisational outcomes for each School/Centre's operational plan which in turn provides staff with an opportunity to align their individual objectives, performance and expectations with the desired outcomes of their position and ultimately, the University.

Participation in MPS is mandatory for all permanent and fixed-term contract staff (on a contract of 12 months or more). It is your responsibility to set 3–5 work objectives, outline any training requirements and discuss your new starter’s career aspirations with them.
