Orientation for New Employees
Welcome to Our Team
As a valued team member, you are University Health’s greatest asset. We could not accomplish the great things we do without your support and dedication.
Beginning the Orientation Process
During your new hire orientation, we introduce you to all the benefits of working at the University Health, provide you with a chance to interact with other employees and more.
During this two-day interactive orientation, new employees are assigned to a team. Expect lots of teamwork interaction — thinking, moving and speaking — with other new employees.
Participate in “Gamification,” an interactive board game using your phone, where you compete with other teams asking and answering questions. Gamification is an engaging and creative method for setting goals and achieving milestones, while helping retain all the new information a new employee has to know.
