Training and Development
Over the years we have worked with Walsall Council on a number of projects and have worked to develop be-spoke training and induction packages. In our new role as the council’s recruitment partner we will be looking to build upon our existing packages to the benefit of the council’s individual service areas as well as the candidate.
June 2006 saw the launch of our generic induction pack for all temporary workers placed with Walsall Council. The induction covers all aspects of working for Walsall from health and safety to equal opportunities.
Further to our induction candidates also receive a formal and structured induction from their recruiting manager at Walsall as part of their first day at work. This induction covers everything from hours of work through to what the council expects from each candidate.
We worked in partnership with Walsall to develop the new induction process. We have found the process to have been
well received by candidates, managers and suppliers and it has gone a long way to ensuring candidates have all the tools required to be able to undertake their work effectively.
In the near future we will be focusing our attention on individual service areas and skills sets within the council. Having already developed be-spoke induction packages for Childrens Services and StreetPride (Grounds & Street Cleansing) we will be turning our attention to StreetPride (Waste Management), Adult Services (Passenger Drivers & Assistants) and Housing (Revenues and Benefits).
