Ensuring your workforce are properly supported through a thorough induction reduces the risk of employees feeling out of their depth, in turn reducing their stress and increasing their enjoyment of their job.

A supportive induction helps new team members fit comfortably and safely into your organisation.

Shadowing, mentoring, buddying, peer support, values-based learning and additional training around core skills and specific health conditions can all be included in the induction.

The course supports staff to have a clear understanding of their role in the interview process and supports evidenced based approach to gaining responses.This interview skills course covers the practical skills required in carrying out values-based recruitment to ensure the process is productive and focused to the service needs and meets the values and ethos of the organisation.

When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience.

For leadership to be compassionate, it must also be inclusive. Compassion blurs the boundaries between self and other, promoting belonging, trust, understanding, mutual support and, by definition, inclusion (West 2021). This creates an inclusive, psychologically safe environment in which diversity in all forms is valued and team members can contribute creatively and enthusiastically to team performance.
