A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:
In 2018, HR began hosting optional, monthly New Employee Welcome Sessions for incoming Emory University employees. During the orientation, staff are provided a waste sorting brochure explaining the standardized waste system at Emory, as well as a one-page brochure about sustainability engagement and lifestyle options supported by Emory. The employee orientation program continues through the current reporting period.
Additionally, HR offered optional campus tours, which included discussion about sustainable commute options, the Emory University Hospital Tower's LEED Silver certification, the Emory Farmers Market, waste sorting, and Emory's commitment to procuring local and sustainable food. HR also sends the Office of Sustainability Initiatives a list of new employees, who are then sent a welcome message from the Office of Sustainability Initiatives with a link to our "Emory as Place" video that orients employees to the ecological, historical, and cultural aspects of the Emory campus and community.
