Introducing TU Teammates: A New Approach to Onboarding Success
Welcome to the TU Teammate program, our innovative onboarding support program to ensure a seamless transition into Tulane's culture for new hires. Recognizing the importance of a supportive and welcoming work environment, we've created the TU Teammate program to enhance the onboarding experience by pairing new employees with seasoned Tulane team members. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to fostering a culture of belonging, support, and mutual growth.
TU Teammates are more than just guides; they are beacons of encouragement, sources of invaluable insights, and bridges to understanding the unique culture that makes Tulane a remarkable place to work. TU Teammates play a crucial role in helping new hires navigate their early days with confidence and ease by offering guidance, answering questions, and providing a familiar face.
Program Highlights:
- Personalized Support: Each new employee is paired with a TU Teammate, ensuring they have a go-to person for queries about the work environment, workplace culture, and more.
- Consistent Engagement: TU Teammates commit to face-to-face meetings for at least 30 minutes each week, alongside availability via email, phone, or chat, to answer any questions.
- Peer Connection: Ideal TU Teammates are peers with similar roles to the new employee, offering relevant insights and experiences.
- Quality Attributes: Select TU Teammates based on their understanding of Tulane's culture, interpersonal skills, performance record, and more, ensuring they are well-equipped to provide meaningful support.
The TU Teammate Role:
- Social Integration: TU Teammates help socialize new hires, encouraging participation in lunch gatherings and other social activities to foster a sense of community.
- Cultural Ambassador: They instill a sense of belonging and introduce new employees to Tulane's values, norms, and unwritten policies.
- Guidance and Referral: TU Teammates ensure a smooth acclimatization by answering questions and directing new hires to appropriate resources.
TU Teammates is not just a program; it's our way of saying "Welcome home." It embodies our belief that the success of our new hires is a collective responsibility. By providing a supportive, informative, and engaging onboarding experience, we lay the groundwork for our employees to thrive and succeed from day one.
Welcome to Tulane! We're thrilled to have you with us and look forward to the contributions you'll make to our community.
