On-Boarding and Induction Department
Employee onboarding is a crucial part of human capital management. It assists the new employee to be integrated into the university and their role.
According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), employee onboarding is the process by which newly hired employees are introduced to the organization culture, mission, and vision.
We endeavour to cultivate a holistic and exciting onboarding process, which can take anywhere from a few days to weeks and months.
A high-quality onboarding program is a great foundation to building a solid platform for our new employee success and contributing to the overall University success.
