WSU Employee Orientation
Orientation is a process, not an event, that begins with an individual's first experience with Wayne State University. The WSU Employee Orientation Process consists of four elements, and is intended to introduce, welcome, and assist new and transferring employees in becoming productive as quickly as possible in their new Wayne State University environment.
Element 1 Faculty & Staff Orientation
The Faculty and Staff Orientation is coordinated by Client Service Center (ESC) and conveys timely, necessary information regarding WSU policies, benefits, program enrollment, completion of forms, parking permits, OneCard, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), unions, and other important aspects of working here at WSU. The Faculty and Staff Orientation is held every Monday at the Welcome Center. This orientation takes approximately 4 hours and you will report to your manager or supervisor afterward.
Element 2- Department Orientation
The Departmental Orientation is hosted by your manager/supervisor and provides an introduction to your School, College, Division as well as performance expectations which are defined for you. Ask your manager/supervisor for more information.
Element 3: University Orientation
The University Orientation is hosted by the office of Organization & Employee Development. Presenters from various departments will discuss the mission, vision and strategic priorities of the University as well as other topics of interest. Enjoy lunch and a bus campus tour as a part of this motivating day! Register here for the next University Orientation
Element 4 On-Going Orientation
On-going Orientation conveys the university's commitment to growing and developing its employees through continuous performance planning. Employees are encouraged to take advantage of training, mentoring and other professional and personal development opportunities.
