All new UDOT-benefited employees are required to attend New Employee Orientation (NEO). The New Employee Orientation is a three-day training that introduces new employees to the mission, vision, goals and objective of the department. New employees are also introduced to many training tools and assessments that supervisors will use to help guide employees through their careers at UDOT. A few topics covered in NEO are listed below, along with the current agenda.
One such assessment is called “Clifton Strengths”. This information will also be provided to the employee's supervisor to help the supervisor understand how the employee can be utilized according to their strengths.
The nature of the work at UDOT dealing with the transportation system is exciting, but caution must be taken in certain circumstances. The new employees will be introduced to safety principles and approaches that can help protect them and their co-workers.
The department's organizational structure is shown and explained to new employees. UDOT’s mission, vision, and strategic goals are discussed to give the new employees an idea of what is important to the department and where it is headed.
For Maintenance and Construction employees, an account will be created within the Maintenance Management system along with a basic introduction of how the system works and how the employee will enter their time. The MMS is where the maintenance employee will not only enter the hours they work each day, but also enter all the necessary information against the asset they worked on.
