UMass Boston

Download Supervisor Checklist

UMass Boston has a vibrant, multi-cultural educational environment that encourages our diverse campus community to thrive and succeed. Part of that success is ensuring that new employees feel welcome and supported during their first few months of employment. Managers and supervisors play an important role in onboarding new employees and facilitating their transition to their new role on campus and shortening the learning curve.

The onboarding process for a new employee is an ongoing process. However, it is ideal to provide the new hire with a formal orientation to your part of the organization within their first week of work. Human Resources has developed a Supervisor's Checklist as a guide to effectively integrate new employees to the university and connect them to the campus community. Additional managerial/supervisory resources are also available through the Training and Organizational Development Unit and through the Employee Relations and Labor Relations Unit.
