Settle / Connect has two aspects — for new staff there is settling and connecting into the job and your business; and for those who have relocated there is settling and connecting into the Shepparton community.
Both are critical steps to do well to support staff to make the decision to stay working for and living in the region. The first, as the employer, is your responsibility (see 1 below) while the second is a shared responsibility with the Shepparton region community and the support of the Community Connector Program (CCP) (see 2).
To settle and connect new staff well into your organisation you need to:
1. Provide a comprehensive orientation to all new staff
2. Connect new staff who have relocated with the Community Connector Program
