New Employee Experience

New Employee Experience (NEE) is a six-month program for each new employee. With four in-person sessions and additional resources, NEE is designed to accelerate new employee’s productivity, and create an environment where new employees begin to establish key connections to the mission, vision, strategic goals, and campus.
