SUBJECT:  Employee Orientation Checklists Accessible on Blink

Three new Employee Orientation Checklists have been developed to support supervisors with the transitioning of employees into the workplace. In addition, the Checklists are designed to create awareness and guidance for employees about their respective departmental operations, and other UCSD resources.

The Checklists include:

SUPERVISOR ORIENTATION OF NEW EMPLOYEES
This Checklist focuses attention on activities that may be reviewed during the employee's first day, first week and/or first months with the University. Therefore, supervisors may use this Checklist to inform new employees about the department, job duties, performance standards, and UCSD resources and culture; preferably, after the completion of required new-hire paperwork and a review of the "Checklist for Departments with New Employees."

DEPARTMENTS WITH NEW EMPLOYEES
The Checklist for Departments with New Employees may be used to transition new staff and academics into the University. This Checklist offers guidance regarding items that should be considered prior to the employee's first day of work and continues through the first six months of employment. To expand its potential uses, a copy of this Checklist may be printed so that additional items unique to the department may be inserted.

EMPLOYEE ORIENTATIONS, RESOURCES, AND INFORMATION
This Checklist offers valuable and timely information to new or returning University employees. It provides guidance to set up benefits and services, use facilities, and eases the process of transitioning into a new department and/or position beginning on the first day through the first few months of employment. Employees are encouraged to review this Checklist following the completion of required employment documents.

The development of the Checklists was done as a collaborative effort involving the ACT Blink Team, Human Resources Department, UCSD Central Office representatives, and input from various members of the campus community.

The Checklists are accessible on Blink at:
