The Coles Supermarkets Induction Program had bounced around the HR area, with various people working on it, for about 2 years before my manager tasked me with putting all the information together concisely and compiling a visually pleasing A5 sized booklet which would be given to all new team members at Coles. The Coles Supermarkets audience is around 85 thousand people and with a new starter number of about 5 thousand team members per year so that’s quite a large audience.
This is what I came up with and it was quite a challenge to get all stakeholders to be happy with their allocated page space and content but I got there! It was a very proud moment for me when the HR Manager of Coles Supermarkets presented my induction booklet to the Coles Board of Directors for feedback and approval. They were very happy with it and gave their approval to begin using it in stores.
