In 2015, the Onboarding Continuous Improvement Team (CIT) was formed. This team was made up of representatives throughout the Division of Finance and their charge was to study the process of employee onboarding and develop recommendations for improving onboarding at the division level.
Beginning in July 2016, an Onboarding Continuous Improvement Implementation Team (CIIT) was established whose purpose was to implement the recommendations of the Onboarding CIT. This team is working on a variety of initiatives, such as new employee welcome receptions, onboarding tools for supervisors, and departmental open houses, with the hopes of providing a comprehensive approach to integrating new division employees so that they have the tools and information needed to become a productive member of the team.
