New Employee Orientation

TWU New Employee Orientation (NEO)

Welcome to Texas Woman's University! 

The New Employee Orientation (NEO) serves as a focal point of a new employee's onboarding experience. The NEO is facilitated and coordinated by the Office of Human Resources, and works with other units on campus to equip our new hires with the information and resources they need to be engaged and informed for their roles. This page provides general information on NEO, including a general overview of content covered, important forms and documents reviewed at NEO, and information on where and when NEO occurs. 

NEO Dates, Times, and Meeting Locations

NEO takes place in the Office of Human Resources Training Room (#222) located within the Oakland Complex at 1201 Oakland St., Denton, TX 76201. 

Dallas, Houston, and Remote employees may choose to attend their NEO virtually. Please reach out to the NEO coordinator, Austin Hammond, at ahammond@twu.edu for the Zoom meeting link. He will also provide additional instructions for your virtual participation. 

NEO sessions tend to run 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. every other Tuesday morning, except during university closures and holidays. A current list of upcoming scheduled orientations can be found here: NEO Schedule for 2024-2025

NEO Agenda

New employees can expect to cover numerous topics related to their employment and experience at TWU. Our orientation covers pertinent HR-related topics, such as: 

  • Your employee benefits package 
  • Wellness programs and opportunities 
  • Pay periods and time submission practices 
  • Leave accruals 
  • Employee relations and conduct 
  • Compliance and safety training 
  • Employee development and resources 

Additionally, other offices participate and offer information or presentations to welcome to new hires, such as Risk Management, Procurement, and IT Solutions. 

While we seek to provide answers and information on many important topics, we understand that a lot of topics and details are covered during orientation. That is why in our orientation we place emphasis not just on the "what" (content) but also on the how and where to find information at TWU.
