A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:
The UNH Human Resources (HR) Training Coordinator gives a one-day orientation day to all new UNH employees. As part of this, UNH HR works with Sustainability Institute staff to include sustainability information to help educate new UNH employees on how to become more involved with sustainability efforts, practices, and policies on campus. Web tours that are run by Human Resources for new employees showcase the Sustainability Institute and the university's curricula, operations, research and engagement in sustainability. Both the tours and the information presented highlight resources to staff that will enhance sustainable behavior in the professional setting. Each new UNH employee receives a staff flyer explaining how they can become more involved with UNH sustainability and also information on how they can make environmentally and socially responsible choices while working at UNH (http://sustainableunh.unh.edu/sites/sustainableunh.unh.edu/files/images/employeeflyer.pdf). UNHSI staff also are part of new faculty orientation each fall.
