Describe obligations as an employee

Level: 1 Credits: 3 Marking Service Assessment Only

Description:

Know what’s expected at work – even if you haven’t started working yet 

Starting work comes with more than just showing up on time. This course will help you understand what employers expect from their employees, so you can step into a workplace knowing how to act, present yourself and work safely. 

What you'll learn 

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to: 

• Describe appropriate personal presentation 

• Recognise behaviours that could lead to disciplinary action 

• Explain key health and safety obligations 
• Describe everyday workplace practices, from punctuality and breaks to privacy and caring for equipment 

Using a specific paid or voluntary workplace as your example, you’ll explore how these expectations apply in a real-world setting. You don’t need to actually work there, so no previous workplace experience is required. 

Assessment requirements 

You’ll complete one open-book assessment.  

Your answers must relate to your chosen workplace and reflect its policies, procedures, and relevant legal requirements. 

The big takeaway? You’ll have a clearer idea of what being a reliable, safe and workplace-ready employee actually looks like.
