During Relocation Readiness month, the Project Team are coordinating activities such as Neighborhood Manager selections and meetings, staff inductions, Command Centre coordination, content creation and format for Neighborhood Walks, planning for the Welcome Ceremony to the new workplace and of course, content selection for Welcome Packs.
The Welcome Pack provides the Project Team an opportunity to deliver messaging to employees about what they need to know to get settled in their new workplace. Although there has likely been many months of information packs circulated and spoken about, not all employees will be across everything that has changed, nor what is expected on Day One, Week One.
In this course, you will gain an understanding of how much detail needs to be woven into an informative Welcome Pack.

Neighborhood Walks on Day One in the new workplace showcase how differently things may be, or not be, at your new premises. Neighborhood Walks help all employees settle into their new location, on their first day by being part of a walkthrough that is organized by the Project team and that talks to the highlights of the new workplace and the specific floor layout that the employees may belong to.
Neighborhood Walks are a great way to orient to the floors, but also serve as a gentle reminder on the new ways of working- for example, the new workplace etiquettes, such as clean desk or using different spaces according to the ways of working that day.
In this course, you will gain an understanding of the people involved in the Neighborhood Walks which is the way to orientate employees to your new workplace on Day One, and the process that needs to be adhered to, to make this experience a positive one for staff and facilitators.
