New Employee Survey

A New View on Engagement: Lessons from the 2006 New Employee Survey

Employees make critical decisions about staying with an organization during the first two years of employment. To learn more about what influences these decisions, Human Resources conducted a survey of new employees. New employees commented on their new hire experiences and suggested programs and resources to help them succeed in their new positions and more quickly adapt to the University’s culture.

In response to the identified needs, a series of new programs and resources are being developed to support new employee success, including:

• Extend New Employee Orientation to include a combination of online resources and targeted workshops available to new employees
• Additional resources and training for departments to deliver orientations for the new employees at the department level
• A new program that includes online resources, listserv communication, and networking opportunities
• A Career Management website, which includes assessment tools, self-paced training, and frequently asked questions
• Develop workshops and online tools to facilitate the process of benefit election decision-making
