1.  What do I need to know to transition new staff members?

Onboarding is The University of Iowa’s process for welcoming and supporting new staff as they transition to a new job.

Supervisors and employees have access an array of useful just-in-time resources and information on the onboarding site. An additional supervisor resource is the New UI Supervisors: Starting Successfully online course in ICON. 

2.  How can I prepare a staff member for their specific job and responsibilities?

Refer to Staff Onboarding for a checklist that helps orient staff members to their duties, the nature of their work, and performance expectations.

3.  How do I orient a staff member to their workplace?

View a sample checklist for introducing a staff member to the work area, the department or unit, and their colleagues.

4.  How do new staff members get oriented to the University and/or UI Health Care?

New employees can participate in an online orientation program. The program provides an overview of the university (and/or University of Iowa Health Care) as well as relevant benefit programs.
