University induction events
Welcome to the University of St Andrews!
To help new staff settle into their new role, the University provides two University wide activities to support the workplace induction that your manager will provide.
The New Staff Induction is an in person event where new staff are welcomed to the University and have the opportunity to hear from senior leadership. 
There is also the opportunity to speak with different teams as well as fellow inductees.
The New Staff Essentials is an eLearning module that incapsulates all the information required by new staff to feel as impowered and informed as possible within their probationary period.
