Employee ONBOARDING
West Chester University offers several integrated onboarding programs and initiatives that provide newly hired employees with the information and resources they need to adjust to the social and performance aspects of their new role. Employees are encouraged to participate in all programs.
STAFF PROGRAMS
New Ram Experience provides insight into our mission, vision, values, and initiatives; information about key partnerships on campus, and provides information to help newly hired staff navigate campus and the surrounding community. Benefits Orientation allows employees to understand benefits that ensure financial wellbeing and health. If eligible, a Benefits Manager will contact you. Departmental Orientation helps employees understand the culture, expectations, operational procedures, and communication preferences within their department. Employees learn the performance expectations of their new role and how it contributes to departmental goals that support student success. Finally, the in-person Golden Welcome Orientation is a half-day program that allows individuals to connect with key leaders and others while touring our beautiful campus.
FACULTY ORIENTATION
West Chester University has developed New Faculty Orientation to provide an overview of the mission, values, and strategic goals of the University and provides you with information to support your success at West Chester University. This program provides an opportunity to meet faculty and administrators in key leadership roles, and other new faculty. The program has been designed to provide critical information regarding expectations of the appointment, as well as the benefits and resources available to faculty. Sessions occur annually in August.
