It addresses assessment criteria AC 3.1 by exploring how the employee lifecycle connects to various people practice roles, including HR, L&D, and organisational development professionals who engage at different touchpoints throughout an employee's journey. The video defines key lifecycle concepts and examines how people practice evolves from initial talent attraction through to effective induction processes. By watching, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the early employee lifecycle stages and recognise the interconnected roles that shape organisational performance from the moment a candidate first engages with your organisation.
