BSBIND201 Work effectively in a business environment

When a person starts a new job, it is important to ensure they have a good understanding of the requirements of the organisation and the responsibilities of their job. In many cases the new employee will attend an induction program or their supervisor or manager will discuss what they need to know about the job and the organisation.

There are specific rules, regulations, policies and procedures that all employers and employees must understand and follow. For example, all organisations and employees must abide by work health and safety (WHS) regulations, which are compulsory in Australia. There are penalties that individuals and organisations can incur for not meeting these regulatory requirements.
