After Your Two-Day Orientation, Day Three
For most employees, orientation does not end after the second day. They report to their departments for department-specific orientation, or continue to orientation based upon their job duties. The following list outlines the required orientation/classes. If you are unsure which orientation you should attend, please ask the facilitator at New Employee Orientation.

Becoming Acclimated
Getting used to a new work environment can be a challenge. At Emory Healthcare, we have all embarked on a journey toward providing quality care.
As a new employee, be sure to explore the resources made available to you. In addition to educational materials - such as this Web site and the New Employee Web site on www.ourehc.org - take advantage of the wealth of knowledge and experience of your co-workers. Ask your leader for a "buddy" to help you navigate the system or take part in team-building activities.
