New@Purdue program available for new hires

After a successful pilot that began in August 2022, the New@Purdue Employee Experience Program for newly hired staff members launched Thursday (Aug. 1) across campus.

New@Purdue is the university’s redesigned onboarding experience, aimed at boosting both engagement and retention. This comprehensive program is designed to engage and fully integrate employees from the onset of the recruiting cycle throughout the entire first year of employment. The program is a one-stop shop for all things related to onboarding staff members, and it helps new hires by integrating advocacy, enrichment and professional development through mentoring and coaching.

Linda Baer, director of organizational effectiveness in Human Resources, is looking forward to bringing the program to a wider audience. 

“New@Purdue will provide rich and ample learning opportunities to new employees,” Baer said. “We’re excited to deliver experiences and activities throughout a new hire’s first year that are tied to their specific goals.”

New@Purdue is automatically assigned to new employees, as is a training on SuccessFactors and Employee Self-Service, which will walk employees through SuccessFactors Learning. Faculty, students and temporary employees do not participate in the program.

Supervisors and those considered onboarding coordinators who have not yet attended the hourlong training are asked to register for a training session to learn more about this program and how to support new hires.

Any questions about the program can be directed to newemployee@purdue.edu.
