New Employee Welcome and Orientation

         

New Employee Welcome and Orientation (NEWO - pronounced KNEE-woe) is held on the second Wednesday of every month from 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM in Oviatt 16. New employees are automatically signed up for attendance.

New  Employee Welcome and Orientation is valuable, however, not only to new employees, but also to current employees who would like to get up-to-date information on various aspects of employment at CSUN. If you have been either a staff or faculty member for many years and aren't sure about what's new on campus, or if, perhaps, you don't know how to access information about CalPERS and your other benefits, you'll find this informative session quite helpful. Professional development opportunities and the various retirement plans available to CSU employees are among the many topics reviewed. If you're a current employee and would like to attend the next NEWO, please ask your supervisor for permission.

The following are among the topics that are addressed at New Employee Welcome and Orientation:

  1. California State University System Overview
  2. Cal State Northridge Overview
  3. Overview of Police Services and Emergency Preparedness
  4. Employee Benefits:
    1. Time Off Benefits - Paid and Unpaid
