Onboarding and inductions
First impressions are just moments that become lasting impact. At Hungry Minds, we design onboarding experiences that transform first-day nerves into first-week momentum, slashing time-to-productivity and building a sense of belonging.
From large-scale induction programs to role-specific pathways, our learning gives new starters the clarity and confidence to get going.
We work across sectors and audiences, designing learning that’s practical, aligned to your organisation, and easy for internal teams to update and roll out. Because good onboarding supports more than new starters – it builds culture, capability, and connection.
We design:
- End-to-end onboarding frameworks that scale across roles and locations
- Inductions tailored to specific roles, sites or departments
- Safety, compliance and WHS inductions for high-risk or regulated environments
- Customer and service inductions aligned to brand, values and expectations
- Onboarding toolkits for managers and leaders to support in the flow of work
- LMS setup and editable templates for efficient delivery and updates

FAQS
We don’t do cookie-cutter click-throughs. Our eLearning is alive – built with story-led scenarios, polished visuals, and interactive challenges that make people think. More importantly, it gives learners the insights, skills, and tools to actually change behaviour, not just finish a module and forget it.
We design everything from single-role inductions to organisation-wide frameworks. Our programs are built around your people, your processes, and the way you work. This can include:
Site, WHS/OHS and systems inductions
Values, behaviours and culture
Onboarding for new starters or specific cohorts (e.g. grads, leaders, volunteers)
Corporate compliance and policies
Tools and tech training
Customer experience and service expectations
We can build it in eLearning, face-to-face or blended formats. Our induction programs help learners understand the work, the workplace, and how to thrive in it.
Absolutely. We build WHS, compliance and regulatory training into your onboarding so new starters know how to work safely from day one.
These include:
Tailored safety modules based on role, risk and location
Modules aligned with industry and legal requirements
Visual design that makes safety messages clear and memorable
Clear signposting so learners know how to apply what they’ve learned
We can build it, tailor it, or plug it straight in. We’ve got ready-to-go WHS and compliance modules aligned to Australian legislation via eCompliance Training, or we can create something fully custom for your organisation.
Our most in-demand topics include:
Work Health and Safety (WHS) – Keeps your people safe, meets legal obligations, and reduces risk.
Bullying, Harassment and Discrimination (Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)) – Covers respectful behaviour, responsibilities, and reporting.
Sexual Harassment – Defines boundaries, outlines your duty to prevent, and explains how to respond.
Privacy and Data Protection – Helps teams handle personal info the right way, under the Privacy Act.
Code of Conduct/Ethics – Sets expectations for professional behaviour and everyday decisions.
You can browse our ready-to-go compliance courses at eCompliance Training, or talk to us about building something unique for your team.
Yes!
We start with discovery, mapping out your roles, audiences and environments. From there, we identify what each group needs to know, do and understand from day one, and design the learning around that.
We can:
Create core content with variations for different cohorts
Design modular programs that flex by location or business unit
Include branching scenarios and learner pathways
Translate or localise content where needed
Our goal is to deliver the right message, in the right way, to the right people.
Yes. We start by getting to know your people—what roles they’re in, how they learn, and where they’ll be doing that learning. Then we design onboarding that’s practical, accessible and built to support them from day one.
We recommend delivery methods and learning strategies based on what’s realistic and effective for your environment.
For non-desk workers, onboarding often needs to feel practical, clear and immediately useful. That might mean hands-on, in-the-moment learning supported by visual tools and coaching, and on-the-job training, rather than eLearning.
For dispersed workers, that might include:
Mobile-friendly modules that fit around shifts, travel or downtime
Short, focused content that’s easy to access and apply in the flow of work
Visual-first design with walkthroughs, diagrams, and practical examples
Offline or low-bandwidth options for remote areas or limited connectivity
Printed resources and quick-start guides where digital isn’t an option
Facilitated virtual sessions to build connection and allow for real-time Q&A
Buddy systems or peer check-ins so learners feel supported early on
Manager-led onboarding plans with coaching prompts and clear role expectations
Reflection activities and goal-setting tools to build early engagement
The goal is to make learning feel relevant, human and supported, wherever someone starts.
