New onboarding resources now available on the Recruitment Tookit!

Human Resource Services recently added new onboarding resources to the Recruitment Toolkit.

Additions to help welcome new employees to Washington State University include:

Updates to the “New Employee Onboarding Checklist” – a document that helps the hiring department keep track of crucial items during the onboarding process.
A sample onboarding schedule and template that can be modified to fit the needs of the hiring department.
“Guiding Principles of Onboarding” – Principles that outline the importance of onboarding and engaging the new employee. Onboarding is an ongoing process, not a onetime event, it is something that needs to extend beyond New Employee Orientation.
