PRE-EMPLOYMENT GUIDELINES

  • Agency employee handbook (if available)
  • Agency organizational chart
  • Benefits information and forms
  • Parking information
  • Map of work location
  • Dress code information
  • Work schedule
  • Other information to better prepare your new employee for their first day of work
2. Notify relevant managers and coworkers of new employee’s arrival (e-mail, Intranet, memo, staff meeting etc.).
   
3. Prepare new employee’s work area with the following (not all inclusive):
 
  • Computer
  • Telephone
  • Employee name plate
  • Standard office supplies (pens, paper, desk calendar, stapler, etc.)
  • Departmental/State telephone directory
  • Small supply of business cards, if appropriate
4. Coordinate appropriate first work assignment.
5. Assign a "buddy" to the new employee and explain the role.
