Joining the UW as a new staff member feels a lot like being the new kid in school. There is so much to learn and figure out. You can count on Professional & Organizational Development to help you through the learning curve.
During your first week:
Complete the UW's online New
Employee Orientation.
The
orientation includes key UW policies, how to obtain benefits information, worker
health and safety information, how to get your Staff ID Card (Husky Card),
and how to apply for crediting of prior UW or other Washington state service.
The orientation is required of all employees, except for the following:

Employee Checklist.
