Staff Orientation Event

Please note: This session previously targeted both faculty and staff. To better support the diverse needs of staff and faculty, the session has been streamlined to support staff, MAPS, APOs, and TLAPOs.

The Staff Orientation Event is an optional complement to the self-paced, online U of A Orientation Course. In this in-person event you will have the opportunity to build your sense of belonging through opportunities to network with other members of the campus community. You will also connect your learnings from the Orientation course to your work by thinking about how you will create impact in your role and Lead with Purpose.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Identify key resources that support employee onboarding 
• Review UAT model 
• Critically reflect on how you will contribute to the university and Lead with Purpose 
• Connect with other U of A employees and build a sense of belonging 

This session builds on the knowledge developed in the self-paced Employee Orientation Course. It is strongly recommended that all session participants complete the online orientation course prior to attending the in-person event. Please note: this session does not cover employment questions such as access to payroll, benefits, pension, etc. If you have questions about these aspects of your onboarding, please reach out to the Staff Service Centre.

All U of A staff members who have not attended a previous orientation are welcome. This event is not designed for students who are working at the university as part of their educational programs or casual short-term/part-time staff.
