Extend a warm welcome
You’re excited to have a new team member join and today is about extending a warm welcome and setting a positive foundation.
New employees are automatically enrolled in IU New Employee Orientation online on their first day of employment. If you choose to have the employee access this on their first day, they can self-enroll in the orientation course.
Orientation topics include:
- Health and Benefits resources
- Wellness resources
- Office and campus safety
- Parking
- Crimson Card
- IU policies
- Campus-specific information
Your school, unit, or department may have its own orientation session. Communicate the session information to the employee.
In addition to orientation, the first day on the job must be well planned and set the tone for workplace success. Refer to your first day schedule that you’ve already created to guide the activities of the day.
