Supporting Workers Through Transition – Helping New Arrivals Stay

Event description

Recruiting great people is half the challenge. Keeping them is key.

NT employers invest heavily in attracting skilled workers from interstate and overseas, only to see many leave. High turnover reduces productivity, increases recruitment costs, places pressure on existing staff and affects long-term organisational success.

Relocating for work is one of life's biggest transitions. Without the right support, even highly capable employees can struggle to settle, affecting their performance and commitment.

This hands-on workshop explores how employers can better support employees and their families relocating to Central Australia, through the journey from attraction and relocation to retention.

What you'll learn

  • The transition journey for employees relocating for work
  • Why transition support is different from induction
  • Common challenges faced by employees relocating to regional/remote NT
  • Practical ways to support employees before arrival, on arrival and during their first months
  • How managers and colleagues influence successful transition
  • Strategies that build confidence, connection and long-term commitment
  • The Six Essential Steps to workforce retention in regional/remote NT.

You'll leave with

  • Greater understanding of the transition process and how to support new workers
  • Strategies to help reduce turnover and protect your recruitment investment
  • Ideas to help employees settle successfully from Day One
  • Available support for employers
  • A workforce transition framework to apply in your own business.
