employee handbook
• Ensuring that either the Line Manager or designated person is
available during the first week to meet with you.
• Ensuring that appropriate equipment and facilities are in place.
• Coordinating and facilitating new Employees to undergo the
remaining Induction Training required for their role.
The Line Manager also plays an important role in many areas that are
referred to in this Handbook. Some of the more significant areas are
as follows:
• The Probationary Assessments during your probationary period.
• The management of attendance.
• The management and support of your performance in your role.
• The development of Employees’ professional and career
development through Personal Development Plans (PDP’s) and
Training Needs Analysis.
The role of a Line Manager is to create an environment in which the
distinct and different contributions of individuals can flourish in order
to achieve the Hospital’s overall objectives. It is the role of the Line
Manager to take an active part in ensuring that the service operates
to the highest standard. The Line Manager plays an important role to
ensure that change is successful through activities like planning,
organising, co-ordinating and leading the efforts of other members of
the team as well as being a role model.
