New Employee Orientation
As a new employee at NC State, you are required to attend New Employee Orientation (NEO100) and Benefits Orientation (BEN100/NEO201) within your first 30 days of employment. These programs will help acclimate you to the university and ensure you get off to a great start.
An Onboarding Specialist will register you for these orientations during your Onboarding appointment.
New Employee Orientation (NEO100)
NEO covers several topics that the university has deemed critical for permanent employees to receive. Topics include environmental health & safety, harassment prevention, and university police services. We also make sure you learn about some of the fun stuff of being a member of the pack, like where to get our very own Howling Cow ice cream, gym memberships, technology lending programs, and more. All new hires are required to complete this session.
All Faculty will be invited to participate in an additional New Faculty Orientation hosted by the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost’s Office for Faculty Excellence held each Fall.
Benefits Orientation (Faculty and Staff-BEN100)
If you are a faculty or staff member (EHRA Faculty, EHRA Non-Faculty or SHRA Staff), you have two options for completing Benefits Orientation:
- Instructor-lead session (BEN100)–The instructor-lead session runs three and a half hours and is offered every few weeks. You can choose to do this session in-person or via Zoom. A Benefits Consultant will facilitate the class and be available for questions.
- Self-Guided Online Orientation. If you choose the self-guided online option, you can register for the self-guided orientation via Reporter and follow the links. Once done reviewing the orientation information, please indicate the session as “Complete” in Reporter.
Postdoc Benefits Orientation (NEO201)
Postdocs participate in a separate and specific Postdoc Benefits Orientation that includes information from the Postdoctoral Affairs Office about the support and services available to Postdocs
