A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:
Sustainability is included in the new employee orientation programs at SU:
• STAFF: The “new staff cohort” based onboarding program at SU called “Rising Redhawks” includes an “SU101” online training that is automatically assigned 2 days after the new staff’s start date. The training should be completed within 30 days of the start date. It includes a welcome video from the President and VP of HR, as well as informational videos by various campus partners. One of the informational videos is a 25 min introduction about SUstainability (presented by SU’s Associate Director of Sustainability). It includes information about the university’s Laudato Si Action Platform strategic goal; highlights of sustainability practices at SU; examples of actions employees can take to help the university obtain greater sustainability; resources and contact information; and it makes the connection between environmental justice & sustainability AND the university’s Jesuit identity and mission to empower leaders for a just and humane world.
