Who is the Onboarding Cordinator?
This is a function NOT a role. It is recommended that the faculty/department designate a consistent person to carry out these duties. Typically this is the general administrator/exeuctive administrator (onboarding duties are included in the general administrators' Job Card). Faculties/departments who do not have a general administrator/exeuctive administrator can delegate these duties to another member of the unit. Not sure who the Onbording Coordinator is in your faculty/department? Reach out to your HR Partner for support.
