Welcome to RISD’s Onboarding Roadmap! Our goal is to welcome and actively involve new staff members by connecting them with the people, processes, and the vibrant community within our institution. Our program is designed to aid new hires in smoothly transitioning into their roles while initiating connections, fostering relationships, and cultivating a supportive environment that fosters growth and development.
The Onboarding Roadmap is crafted to engage both staff and managers as active participants in the onboarding process. Below, you’ll find a roadmap outlining key milestones for the first year of employment. Each milestone includes recommended actions and resources tailored for both new staff and their managers. While the roadmap is flexible and not a one-size-fits-all solution, it serves as a valuable guide to support new employees and their managers throughout the first year.
