Induction

Inducting new starters to our business is a fantastic opportunity to offer them a warm welcome, give them a speedy introduction to their work and to ensure that they are quickly compliant with all of our policies and procedures. Done well, our new starters will feel engaged, valued and able to add value very quickly.

It is the aim of Biffa to ensure that staff induction is dealt with in an organised and consistent manner so that employees can be introduced into a new role and working environment quickly and therefore contribute effectively and efficiently as soon as possible. To assist this process, the induction will explain to the employee; the organisation, the culture, the people and the role, also ensuring that all employees understand their health and safety responsibilities. In addition to this, staff will also have a local induction, which will be specific to their area of work.

The safety of all our people is our number one priority and we are very proud of our Health and Safety record here at Biffa.
