The process of welcoming a new staff member at the University of Cape Town (UCT) begins the moment they apply for a position and extends far beyond completing paperwork and ticking off induction checklists. Our goal is to ensure that every new colleague starts their journey with an experience that makes them feel confident in their decision to choose UCT as their employer of choice.

To support this, new staff members have access to the New Staff Member Resource Guide, available without login, which provides necessary information for a smooth transition.

In addition, our Onboarding Toolkit equips line managers and new staff with practical tools to guide and enhance the onboarding experience. 
 

What’s in the Onboarding Toolkit? (Access requires staff login) 

• Comprehensive guides for line managers and Induction Facilitators
• Onboarding checklists
• Customisable templates, including: 
  
  o    First-week itinerary
  o    90-Day Integration plan
