8. Explain why you should analyse strategic and operational plans when developing recruitment,
selection and induction policies
This means that policies or processes that are effective today may not meet the
organization's goals in the next twelve months. The business world and the legislation that
governs it are constantly changing. Process evaluation and revision is an ongoing task that
should be documented in organisational policies and procedures. Your examination of
your company's strategic plans, policies, and objectives may have revealed deficiencies in
employee competency and workforce. Recruitment could be part of your strategy to
address these shortages.
Having a good policy must include the legal requirements for staff selection, such as anti-
discrimination, fairness, equity, and equal opportunity, as well as privacy and
confidentiality. Measures must be put in place to ensure that state and federal laws are
followed.

The induction process serves to welcome new hires to the business and help them
transition into their new role; enabling new employees to feel supported while they adjust.
It is considered best practice to provide an induction program to employees. For an
employer, effective induction may also affect employee turnover, absenteeism and
employer brand.
New hires must understand the organisation, the culture, the people, and what is expected
of them in their role, so an effective induction will include a number of interconnected
elements. These elements include legally required health and safety information as well as
practical information about the working environment and facilities. The induction process
should also introduce the new employee to the company's working arrangements,
including time, location, and patterns of flexible working, if available, as well as its culture
and values. It should also include information pertinent to their role.
