What if my new hire can’t attend Orientation on their scheduled date?
As has been done in the past, if your new hire cannot attend their assigned session, they will be registered for the next available orientation.
(If your new hire’s shift falls outside of the normally scheduled orientation schedule, please contact Training and Development at 2-0898 or Employee Relations at 2-4636 to make arrangements for your new hire to attend or to get the information.)
I’ve just hired a new employee. How will I know when they’ll attend New Hire Orientation?
1. Notifications to supervisors: As has been done in the past, HR Talent Acquisition will work with hiring managers to ensure they know when their employees will be attending orientation. In addition, supervisors will now receive the details of orientation when their new hires receive their invitations.
2. New Hire Orientation Schedule: All sessions are detailed on the HR Training & Development webpage: https://www.kent.edu/hr/training/new-hire-orientation-schedule
With a hybrid setup, how will I know if a session is being held virtually or in-person?
For ease of planning, all orientation sessions are detailed on the HR Training & Development webpage: https://www.kent.edu/hr/training/new-hire-orientation-schedule
Where can I see the new hire orientation schedule?
The orientation schedule is now available on the HR Training & Development webpage: https://www.kent.edu/hr/training/new-hire-orientation-schedule
Why are we still scheduling virtual sessions?
We will still be holding virtual sessions so that we can accommodate those employees who may not be able to attend an in-person session (regional campuses, out-of-state employees, etc.) This also allows for more flexibility for those attendees who may work shifts outside of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or have hybrid work arrangements.
Why are we including in-person sessions?
We have worked to ensure that both in-person and virtual sessions are engaging and valuable, and this hybrid model allows us to make a return to in-person sessions. This increases the likelihood of understanding and retaining the information covered. This also provides more opportunities for attendees to ask questions and turn in the necessary paperwork.
