Once all background information has been received and approved, employees are invited to attend a New Staff Orientation which is conducted by human resources. Policies and procedures of the Agency are reviewed and a new employee handbook is provided as a point of reference for employees.  This is an opportunity to have an open discussion about the expectations of the human resources department and the Agency as a whole.  Following a formal orientation, employees are scheduled for an in-service training which is conducted directly in the specific program the staff is hired for.  Additional details and expectations are reviewed on a program level.
