Inductions

New Starters Program – Support Office induction

This induction program is specifically designed for head office and centre employees to give them essential first-day information. New starters also receive a detailed folder that can greatly reduce new-job nerves and help people get through their first few days with comfort and ease.

Support Office Induction Morning

The support office induction morning is held every two months and is designed for new employees across the business. This is a great way to meet some of Westfield’s key people and gain insight into what other company business units do. The morning comprises presentations from the NZ Director, General Managers and Regional Managers who describe each division's operations and how they fit within the Group as a whole.
