A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:
The TRU Sustainability Office is represented in all new employee orientations by either the Office Manager or Coordinator. Orientation sessions are organized by the TRU People and Culture Office and take place during the Fall and Winter semesters. Due to Covid-19, orientation sessions take place virtually using MS Teams. Along with representatives from the Sustainability Office, there are representatives from all other major non-academic departments/offices of the University, such as Office of Safety and Emergency Management (OSEM), Wellness, IT Services, Employee Assistance, and Facilities. Some of these departments, like OSEM and Wellness, cover issues to do with social sustainability. A speaker from the Sustainability Office provides information to the new employees so that they can familiarize themselves with different sustainability aspects of the office and university, and learn of relevant resources, systems, academic offerings, and activities on campus. Due to one of the goals of the Sustainability Office (working on various initiatives to try and limit paper use), information is provided electronically to the participants via online links instead of providing paper hand-outs.
