Team created to design new employee orientation program

One of the focus areas of the ITD’s 2009 Strategic Plan is to enhance the investment in our employees.

A key area of employee satisfaction is based on how new employees are integrated into the organization. As a result, a New Employee Orientation Team has been formed to design a program that will more effectively orient new employees into an organization that welcomes them, helps them feel valued, and assist them in navigating the workplace and its culture.

The orientation program will identify the information to be shared with the new employees and at what stage of employment the information should be shared. The team will also identify roles and responsibilities of the key players: Human Resource personnel, supervisors, and managers. The team is expected to present their recommendations to the Team Sponsor (Mary Harker-Human Resource Services Manager) by no later than September 30, 2009.

The New Employee Orientation Team had its first meeting on June 16, 2009. The team is comprised of the following members:

Scotty Fellom-District 1 Business Manager
Sue Rathke-District 4 Personnel Technician
Bonnie Fogdall-Division of Motor Vehicles Business Manager
John DeThomas-Aeronautics Administrator
Shanah Percy-Human Resources Program Manager
Tea Molino-Human Resources Associate
Diane Page-Human Resources Associate
Carlin Hill-Human Resources Specialist Benefits Coordinator

The team welcomes your ideas and feedback. Please contact any of the above members with your contribution.
