guide new employees as they begin their journey down what we hope will be a fulfilling career with WVUH. This checklist will help you perform this role. By completing these tasks over the next 30 days, you will help your new team member become an engaged employee and increase his or her contribution to WVUH.

Know who and where to go to for help with work matters.
Know the policies and procedures of WVUH and of the new employee’s department. Feel a part of the WVUH family.
Please complete this checklist with your employee. Some items should be completed the first full day after the Hospital’s NEO program. The reminder should be completed within the first 90 days.
The items that are highlighted in yellow are mandated by The Joint Commission and must be covered. From the remainder, select those items that are relevant and important and check off each topic when reviewed with the new employee and have the employee initial. When complete, both of you will sign and date this document and file the original in the employee’s departmental personnel file.
Any questions can be directed to Maria Mancini, Director of the Center for Education and Organizational Development at 598-4045.
