I work for a national organisation (not for profit) with staff located both in cities and in regional Australia. I am looking to improve the way we manage the 'onboarding' of new staff, once the ink dries on the employment contract.

Things like:
- relocation expenses
- transit accommodation (while sourcing a permanent residence)
- logistics before day 1
- social induction (to the town/community)
- induction to the workplace

I want to achieve consistency across the board in terms of financial allocations (such as X dollars to relocate; 1 x airfare; 14 days accommodation - as an example) so we achieve equity, but I also want to achieve consistency in terms of the 'experience' all staff have when they first join the organisation.

My ultimate goal is to develop some guidelines around the financial allocations, and to develop a manager's "checklist" on things they need to cover when bringing on a new staff member - after the offer acceptance and before day one.

I welcome any suggestions on how other organisations manage this to ensure we achieve best practice.

Thanks.
