MGSE Induction Program

On Tuesday 2 April, MGSE People & Culture ran a pilot session of the new Face-to-face Induction Program which aims to help new MGSE employees feel more connected to the School and our work. The session received outstanding feedback with 100% of attendees agreeing that the session was helpful, well executed, and well-presented, and more than three quarters feeling more connected to the School than before. With key opportunities for improvement now identified, the program will be modified with the aim of rolling out quarterly sessions for all new MGSE staff. Stay tuned for communications in the coming weeks and months regarding session dates, process improvements, and opportunities to contribute to future iterations of the program.

Thank you to the new staff who participated in the pilot program and provided valuable feedback.
