Onboarding
Our goal is to positively impact student success by retaining a highly competent, diverse and engaged workforce. In particular, the onboarding experience should make new employees feel welcome in their surroundings and minimize the time it takes them to become productive members of their departments.
- Set up the new employee’s workspace with the technology and tools needed for that position, including any accommodations
- Schedule events that connect the new employee with existing team members
- Set short- and long-term goals, including training and development opportunities
