The EMA have also developed a series of live webinars, free to all, that focus on the three pillars of good youth employment - recruitment, onboarding, and retention of high-risk employees.  

With Millennials now the majority generation in the New Zealand workforce, it's important to know how to ensure success in their recruitment. 

In the first webinar, leading HR & H&S Consultant Lisa Oakley walks us, step by step through the most critical areas to be mindful of:

•   How to attract young people with the right messaging
•   Interview questions that will help you see the potential
•   How to avoid bias 
•  Understand why employing young people is good for business

In our second webinar, Lisa is joined by Channel Manager, Lyndsay Jobin, to discuss the needs, expectations, and capabilities of younger employees, and learn the key elements of the end-to-end process of employing them. Here's a sneak peek of what you can expect:

  • Gain insight into why employing young people is good for your business when managed effectively
  • Learn the dos and don'ts of onboarding a young person and how to communicate with them to ensure safety and productivity at work
  • Manage your team's expectations to keep them engaged and supportive
