Whether you’re welcoming a new hire or helping an existing employee to transition to a new role, a thorough orientation is the key to ensuring a smooth and successful transition.

Training, Skills and Competencies
Anyone undertaking work that requires a license (e.g. high-risk license) and/or a prescribed activity will need to provide evidence of their qualifications to their new employer.
