Over the past year, Human Capital Services (HCS) has been working hard to develop a new program to acclimate new employees to K-State resources, culture and traditions. This enhanced new employee orientation program – the K-State New Employee Welcome – will provide all new benefits-eligible employees with an in-depth knowledge of K-State at the beginning of their career.
The goal of the K-State New Employee Welcome program is to bring new employees together, providing each person with an experience that will ensure that they have a sense of belonging and are connected from the start. This will be accomplished through a well-rounded approach, introducing employees to K-State history, traditions, initiatives, systems and much more. Held on the second Wednesday of each month, the program will include four hours of instruction, learning and discussion and a one-hour tour of the K-State campus.
The program design team researched several of K-State’s peer and aspirant institutions to gauge best practices to help guide the structure of this new program. In collaboration with key stakeholders and partners campus-wide, program content was developed and will be facilitated by these same partners and HCS staff. Feedback will be collected throughout the year as we continue to enhance the program.
