ON-BOARDING FOR NEW CLEVELAND CLINIC STAFF PROGRAM

 

 

 

 

As a closed Staff, physician-led, group practice, the Cleveland Clinic has a distinctive culture, which differentiates it from many academic medical centers. As such, the goal of the On-Boarding for New Staff Program joining the Staff at the Cleveland Clinic is to jumpstart new Staff members’ awareness, familiarity, and comfort with working and thriving professionally at the Clinic. The On-Boarding for New Staff Program consists of several offerings, which are meant to complement the individual Staff members’ departmental orientation. These offerings include:

 

1) A New Staff “Meet and Greet” breakfast during which new Staff are offered a high-level introduction to the structure, culture, and scope of the Clinic.

2) A “90-Day Follow-up Breakfast” during which new Staff are invited to share their experiences of joining the organization and to offer actionable suggestions to optimize the on-boarding process.

3) A get-together for new Staff and significant others with Clinic leaders at the Foundation House, intended to introduce new staff to one another and to leaders, to introduce significant others to the Clinic, and to welcome and celebrate new Staff, and

4) The “Inside the Cleveland Clinic” series (offered once a year), comprised of 2 full-day sessions during which Clinic leaders meet with the group of new Staff to discuss the Clinic, their roles, the state of the Clinic, and ways in which new staff can access and interact with Clinic leaders. These sessions also offer an opportunity to meet and network with new colleagues. New Staff are strongly encouraged to attend both sessions within their first year of being on the Staff.
