Our Manager Toolkit equips hiring managers with the resources they need to support new employees during all stages of their onboarding experience. A successful onboarding journey helps both our employees and the university thrive, and this toolkit provides key guidance for a smooth transition into a new role and a new community.
New employees can learn more about navigating their career journey at BU, explore university resources, meet with representatives from various offices, and connect with other new employees at our in-person Campus Connects: Bridging BU events.
