New Employee Onboarding Checklist- Your First Day
Welcome to UNCW! We are so glad you are here so much so we created a process
(and center) to help you get onboard. We know you’ll be busy during your first few weeks
meeting colleagues and learning your new environment, but you have a lot of things to
do. This checklist is a tool to make sure you get some very important things done on
your first day. Your supervisor and department will have other activities for you to
complete your onboarding process. Onboarding goes beyond your first day, and even
your first 30 days, so we will keep in touch with you many times during your first year to
see how you are transitioning into your new role and into our Seahawk community.
Don’t hesitate to let us in the Onboarding Center know if you need anything!
