Orientation is designed to acquaint new employees with UTMB’s history, mission, and goals. It will provide necessary policy, procedure, health, safety and security guidelines for new employees as well as an overview of available benefits. All new UTMB employees and contract personnel shall attend an orientation session in accordance with the following guidelines.
All employees, with the exception of Correctional Managed Care (CMC) employees will be scheduled for orientation by the Initialization Office (IO). New employee orientation for CMC employees will be scheduled and conducted at the appropriate CMC District Human Resources Office, unless otherwise designated. The HR Orientation Team or the CMC District Human Resources Office will notify the appropriate department staff of the assigned orientation dates. Departments are expected to have off-campus employees attend orientation. If an off-campus employee is unable to attend orientation, departments may contact the HR Department (HRD) to obtain the necessary orientation materials. Special circum- stances should be coordinated in advance through the HR Orientation Team. Orientation will be offered on a weekly basis both for employees eligible for the Orientation Retirement Program and employees eligible for the Teacher Retirement System. CMC new employee orientations will be conducted on a bi-weekly basis. Special group orientation may be arranged by contacting the HR Orientation Team or the Correctional Managed Care District Human Resources Office.
It is the responsibility of the employee’s immediate supervisor to ensure that the employee reports for scheduled orientation. The Orientation Team of the Human Resources Department or the Correctional Managed Care district Human Resources Office will follow up with the appropriate supervisor regarding new employees who fail to attend as scheduled.
