Code of conduct
Our code of conduct is centred around five core values. It provides a blueprint for how staff and students should act and make decisions.
We know as a new member of our team, there are lots of new things to do and get used to. Your manager/supervisor or an onboarding officer within your school/unit will help you work your way through the UON Orientation in Discover which will set you up, ready for work. We do our best to prepare and get you ready to be productive on your first day.
As a manager/supervisor or onboarding officer, you have an important role to play in welcoming new staff to the organisation and ensuring they are 'work ready' for their first day. A smooth onboarding experience can also assist with employee engagement and retention.
The key to a successful onboarding experience is to plan for the new staff member's arrival well in advance of their start date so they have all the tools they need to be productive on, or before their first day. Onboarding officers have access to the Onboarding Officer Microsoft Teams site, which contains a suite of resources and templates to assist onboarding officers, onboarding buddies and hiring managers plan for and welcome a new staff member to their team.
