Cornell University
EN-8: Employee Orientation

The Cornell Onboarding Center is a "one-stop" service for a new Cornell employee's first day on the job to conduct the business of becoming a Cornell employee. This allows new employees to complete required paperwork; activate a Cornell NetID and email account; receive a staff photo ID; select parking and transportation options; review benefits information; and enter personal data into the university's database, thus eliminating the complexity of coming to campus multiple times and stopping at the various locations on campus. We are now offering all new employees the choice of a Cornell reusable water bottle or coffee mug when they visit the Onboarding Center to encourage reuse behavior from day one. Sustainability is referenced in the Get to Know Cornell section of the Staff and Faculty resource documents made available to new hires in the Center. The welcome message from Cornell's Vice President for Human Resources includes our university Core Values which incorporate the pillars of sustainability.

We incorporate sustainability into our new Wellbeing Model for the University. Here is the link to the model: https://hr.cornell.edu/wellbeing-perks/seven-dimensions-wellbeing If you click on the “environmental” tab at the top it will show all the resources we’ve compiled in one place to help support more sustainable practices on campus. New hires receive information about the Employee Wellbeing at Cornell model and related resources.

Sustainability has been incorporated in Cornell Human Resources Employee Wellbeing Update newsletter that goes out every other week to all existing employees.
