What to expect

You can expect to receive additional information from human resources regarding your first day of work with us. This may include when to arrive, where to park, where to report and appropriate attire.

When you arrive on your first day, proceed to the receptionist desk and ask for your human resources contact or your manager.

If you have not already provided the following items, it is important that you bring them with you:

• Professional license (as appropriate)
• CPR card (as appropriate)
• Proof of eligibility to work such as: a passport, permanent resident card or driver’s license and birth certificate.

During your first day, you receive an identification badge. You are required to wear this badge each day that you report for work.

You attend orientation to help you better understand company operations, policies and other important information.

During your first month, you learn more about your department and your position. Your manager sets the expectations for your first 90 days and helps you acclimate to the new role. He/she communicates appropriate policies and procedures, helps you with team dynamics, provides feedback to your efforts, understands what drives you to be the best you can be and ensures you have the opportunity to take the necessary training you need.

During this time, you and your manager continue communications and building relationships. Your manager continues to monitor and provide feedback regarding your work efforts, addresses any of your concerns and ensures the team is working effectively. At 90 days, you receive your first formal evaluation which allows you and your manager to evaluate your performance. This is a good opportunity to discuss your continued development in the role.
