Congratulations on your new position.

You are in your first days as a New Mexico State University employee. Start your job on the right path by registering for and attending New Employee Orientation. 

Why Orientation?

As a new employee, you must register for benefits within 31 days of your first day of work. That’s why it is critical that you understand your benefits choices within this window.

Overview:

New Employee Orientation (NEO) is a day-long virtual event. The morning session welcomes you to the NMSU community, introduces helpful offices, and provides essential information for new employees.  The afternoon session lets you get your questions answered about each employee benefit and features dedicated time to finalize your benefits choices and get enrolled. You are encouraged to have all documentation for enrollment purposes, a list of acceptable documents can be found on the Benefits Eligibility page.

Who?

New Employee Orientation is designed for staff and faculty hired into regular/term benefits-eligible positions.

In addition, new faculty hired in advance of the semester should also attend the New Faculty Orientation offered each fall semester by the Teaching Academy and Provost’s office. To learn more about this orientation, email teaching@nmsu.edu.

When?

New Employee Orientations are scheduled bi-monthly.  Your day of orientation is scheduled from 9:30 AM – 3:30 PM.  This should be counted as work time, and you should ask your manager for permission to attend.  One day is a great investment in your career!
