Congratulations on the new addition to your team! As a supervisor, this is your opportunity to effectively welcome your new employee into his/her job and into the NMSU community. Many new employees are very excited to become an Aggie and this is your chance to begin establishing a successful and productive working relationship. In doing so, it is important that you play an active role in the orientation process. Many people think that the purpose of new employee orientation is for Human Resource Services to collect all required paperwork and for the employee to signup for benefits; but for successful onboarding and long-term retention of the employee, you must go a step further. The first interactions with you should create a positive impression of your department, college or division at large, and the campus as a whole. The time you spend planning for your new employee's first few days and weeks on the job will tremendously increase the opportunity for a successful start for you both.
