Orientations
This virtual orientation helps you get your bearings as they prepare for their first day of work at UW Tacoma.
This event includes a general UW orientation, the Benefits Orientation and the required Prevention of Sexual Harassment Training. A union representative will also provide information about union membership for bargaining unit employees in contract-classified positions (SEIU or WFSE). Attend an in-person Benefits Orientation as soon as possible, as there are strict deadlines associated with new employee enrollment. A benefits packet will be provided to them at the orientation.

Supervisor Orientation
This Orientation is for any newly hired supervisors or for current employees who recently took on supervising responsibilities. It’s also great for experienced supervisors who want a refresh on policies and practice. This orientation will cover employee types, time entry and leave policies, the hire process, performance management and other topics. The orientation is offered via Zoom the 2nd Friday of every other month at 10am and will be 90 minutes. Please find the available dates and register here. You will receive a Zoom Outlook invitation within a week after registering. The topics will be most relevant to supervisors of staff as opposed to supervisors of students.
