Employee Onboarding

GHC Onboarding Philosophy 

GHC recognizes that onboarding is critical to the success to staff retention and longevity. Onboarding  helps new GHC employees acclimate to their new work environment, integrate into the organizational culture, and become effective contributors. A quality  onboarding experience shows employees that their environment  will be supportive, as well as one that encourages professional development. The CSD department has a systematic and streamlined approach to on boarding for all new staff members teaching staff, administrative staff and support staff alike. All Direct supervisors are responsible for the onboarding and orientation of their direct supervises. The initial onboarding of staff as it relates to offers and virtual GHC onboarding is conducted by the HR department. The Office of the Director (Children Services) Provides a general Children Services Orientation monthly. Beyond that every supervisor of the Children Services Department is required to create a onboarding binder that must me disseminated to the new hire on their first working day. The pre- established  onboarding binder includes GHC historical content, program information and titles. Supervisors or responsible staff are responsible for editing the "schedule pages" for the first three weeks of the employees on boarding and adding any relevant documents or information specifically related to the new employees role. The direct supervisors are also responsible for ensuring that the new staff members name, title and program is added to the Director of Early Childhood List of orientation  candidates.

Substitute Staff and Volunteers: All Volunteers and Substitutes must a minimum sign all required documentation required of a GHC staff member including but not limited to the Code of Conduct Standards , Child Abuse  and Neglect Reporting Policy and Child Guidance Policy. If the Substitute or Volunteer becomes a permanent substitute or volunteer (longer than 45 days) member or volunteer they must be oriented.
