An employer's guide to employing young workers

Young workers can bring enthusiasm and new skills to a workplace. They can also become loyal and valuable employees.  Best practice employers understand their obligations to young workers and recognise that their guidance and support can shape young employees' futures and their attitudes to work.

This Best Practice Guide explains:

  • what an employer should tell a young worker early in
    the employment relationship
  • the particular importance of health and safety issues
    when it comes to young workers
  • the options for apprenticeships and training
  • performance management of young workers.

 

There is also a checklist to help determine whether you
are acting as a best practice employer.
