UVA HR Orientation Updates
UVA Health:
We are pleased to announce improvements to the UVA Health New Hire Portal! Topical videos are now available on the Getting Started webpage to provide self-serve support for common onboarding activities such as parking, ID badges, and account access. New hires can explore these videos at their convenience.
Managers seeking additional support, including a suggested checklist for Day One, can visit the Manager Toolkit for resources, also available through the New Hire Portal.
Academic Division:
In addition, we are excited to share some recent updates and highlight an added opportunity for academic new hires.
Key elements of Academic Orientation:
- The Central Academic Onboarding webpage has been reimagined as a logistical resource for new hires supporting common onboarding activities such as parking, ID badges, and account access. Links to the live, virtual sessions (outlined below), and a list of the orientation dates can be found on the Central Academic Onboarding webpage.
- Grounds for Success is a live, virtual session offered every other Monday starting at 9am. The focus of this session is welcoming new hires, introducing the University’s organizational structure and culture, and reviewing next steps for onboarding. The session runs 60 min.
- Grounds for Success Online is a Workday Learning module that can be completed in lieu of the live, virtual Grounds for Success session, offering flexibility for those new hires needing an alternative option.
- *NEW* Academic New Hire Benefits Session is a live, virtual program offered every other Monday starting at 10am, following the Grounds for Success session. UVA HR Benefits counselors will host this program that includes a presentation and time for Q&A. The session runs 60 min.
Adjustments to academic orientation support the addition of the benefits session while consolidating activities into a 2-hour timeframe. The new hire can participate in either or both sessions. Neither session is mandatory.
NOTE: University Staff hired for the School of Medicine are directed to UVA Health orientation resources and are not invited to Academic Orientation.
