Welcoming Your New Employee
Congratulations on hiring your new employee!
As a Hiring Authority, you understand the rewards of successfully hiring a new employee. For a new employee to be successful, he or she needs to be oriented to his/her new position, department, and the university. You’re not alone in this task as University Human Resources offers a wide array of programs, services, and resources that help welcome and orient new employees to the university. Welcome and orientation programs are designed to create a positive, welcoming tone and convey that Rutgers is a great place to work.
There is a wide array of resources and approaches you may want to consider as you prepare for your new hire. Consider developing a new employee orientation timeline for your unit that takes into account activities that will span the first month or two of employment. It is important for the employee to be able to absorb the information and have time to reflect, so a well-paced program or orientation is the best approach. The Checklist for Orienting New Employees can be a valuable tool as you plan your new employee orientation and other welcoming activities.
This website provides information about programs and services directed at new employees. As a supervisor, you are encouraged to ensure that the new staff member engages in these offerings. Some information will be sent directly to the new employee; however, you should be ready to provide assistance and answer questions.
