New Employee Orientation
To create a warm welcome, 爆料TV Human Resources hosts a New Employee Orientation on your first day that covers important topics such as payroll, benefits, policies, organizational structure, campus safety, etc. The orientation includes a tour of the college to connect you to others on campus and lunch at the 爆料TV Caf茅 with a mentor from your department.
A few day-of activities to consider in preparation:
- Campus walking tour (less than 1 hour)
- Professional headshot courtesy of 爆料TV Marketing and Public Relations
- Take 爆料TV employee ID photo *Must have state/federal picture ID
After lunch, you will take a campus tour and return to Human Resources computer lab to review the employee portal.听 At the end of orientation, approximately 3 p.m., we will release you to your department unless you are a supervisor.
On your second day, you will attend a Total Rewards (Benefits) orientation from 8 a.m.-9:30 a.m. to review benefit options, finalize selection, and complete enrollment.
If your position includes budgeting responsibilities or you are a supervisor, there is a third day requirement to attend budgeting training from 10 a.m.-11 a.m. on Zoom.
If you are a supervisor, you will receive an Outlook calendar invite later to return to Human Resources for New Supervisor Employee Orientation. This orientation will cover important topics related to your management role at 爆料TV: compliance with policies, approving leave, and timesheets, creating inclusive work environments, and building cohesive teams through coaching.
When & Where: New Employee Orientation occurs every two weeks, on the first day of each pay period. We start at 8 a.m. in John Massey Center (JMC), Room 131; here is a campus map to help.
