EN-8: Employee Orientation

o All new employee’s are invited to new employee orientation which emphasizes the importance of social sustainability i.e. 69 percent of employees are more likely to stay with a company for three years if they experienced great onboarding, new employees who went through a structured onboarding program were 58 percent more likely to be with the organization after three years (source: https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/talent-acquisition/pages/dont-underestimate-the-importance-of-effective-onboarding.aspx) o During new hire orientation, employees are provided a variety of information about sustainability including:  An overview of the University's commitment to sustainability  Public transportation including transit, bus, and Zipcar as well as our on-site bicycle rental benefit  Directions to receive W4s digitally (instead of hard copy)  Sustainable food choices on campus  Sustainable health/fitness opportunities on campus  A tour of campus also includes sustainability highlights  Information is shared on our economic sustainability programs related to our Office of Access and Equity’s minority student and business-related outreach  New employees are introduced to the website locations of the Clemson University Sustainability Commission as well as campus Recycling Services.
