A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:
- HR employee orientation consists of a virtual meeting with an HR associate and small groups of newly hired individuals. During the on-boarding process, the HR representative explains some of the key points in the new hire orientation packets. One resource is a link to the Florida Tech Sustainability Website at www.fit.edu/sustainability.
- This website has many resources for new employees to learn more about opportunities like recycling, sustainable dining, and SUS events at the institution.
- The employee orientation, and accompanying packet are given to all incoming full-time, part-time, temp, and adjunct employees. Digital versions of the orientation packet are also sent to all new employees before their orientation and are available on the HR website.
