New @ Purdue Employee Experience Program

Overview

A comprehensive New Employee Experience program designed to engage and fully integrate employees from the onset of the recruiting cycle throughout the entire first year of employment. The program is a one-stop shop for all things related to onboarding, and it helps new hires by integrating advocacy, enrichment and professional development through mentoring and coaching.

Purpose

To optimize the onboarding experience for new hires (as well as for supervisors) and positively impact engagement, retention and performance, as well as providing a consistent experience for all new employees.

Roll-out plan

The program began with a pilot focused on staff and, to a limited degree, graduate students.
