New employees and those who transfer to positions within our school need support in gaining the knowledge and skills to be successful in their new positions. Effective onboarding helps new employees feel engaged and become productive. The SPH HR team is here to work with supervisors, divisions/units, and staff to help new employees succeed quickly.
