Subject: New Employee Orientation

Authorities:

Purpose:
The efficient functioning of the college and the maintenance of a positive climate require that new employees receive a thorough working introduction to the various offices, functions and policies of Pine Tech. It is the purpose of this policy to establish a process by which this orientation can be conducted.

Policy:
Supervisors will insure that new employees in their divisions are introduced to the college through a structured, step-by-step orientation policy.

Procedure:
1. Each new, full time hire will receive an orientation checklist upon arrival for his or her first day at work at PTC.

2. The checklist will cover all major areas of the employee/organization relationship, including, but not limited to, the President’s office, Human Resources, the Business Office and Information Services.

3. A pre-employment section will be completed by the new employee’s supervisor to prepare for the arrival of the employee.

4. Each manager for the divisions listed on the checklist will provide an overview - - or delegate a direct report to provide an overview - - of important functions of that office and significant facts necessary for the new hire to function. The President’s office will provide an overview of the mission and core documents, as well as other policy and strategy level information.

5. The new hire’s supervisor will deliver an orientation to that new employee’s own, home division.

6. For temporary or part time employees and adjunct faculty a separate, abbreviated checklist will include only the essential functions necessary for employees whose term or involvement with the college is limited in scope.

Responsibilities:
1. Human Resources and the Leadership Team will insure that checklist forms are developed and periodically updated.

2. Managers whose offices are listed on the checklist will insure that the orientation that they give is thorough and useful.

3. Supervisors will insure that the new employee completes the visits required by the checklist and that the list is turned in to HR.
