SEFS Induction Process
The College of SEFS recognises the importance of an effective induction for employees into the University. Joining a new organisation can be both interesting and challenging and it can take time to settle in and find your way around. The Head of School/Unit has responsibility for managing and coordinating local induction. Local induction refers to the School and role specific induction process that takes place when an employee joins the University. This process equips the staff member with the necessary information to participate fully in their new role.
The induction process is an important way of ensuring that the new staff member and the school/unit derive real benefit from their appointment. The aim is to enable the staff member to perform to their full potential as soon as possible.
A successful programme will involve a team approach and will give the new staff member the opportunity to meet their colleagues and to gain an understanding of the role of every member of the team. To support and guide managers through this process an SEFS Local Induction Checklist is available.
Additional Information on orientation for New Starters can be found on the HR Webpage Staff Orientation | University College Cork (ucc.ie)
Family Leave and Maternity Leave
Ensuring your maternity leave is effectively planned and supported requires a number of activities to be undertaken.
