New Employees

Welcome to Willamette University and congratulations on your new position! We are delighted you are joining us.

Your role is critical to fulfilling our mission of building a community of educators committed to rigorous education, cultivating an authentic engagement with place, and promoting transformation of knowledge into action in ways that lead to lives of achievement, contribution, and meaning.

We are excited about you joining us and want to ensure that you are successful in your new role. During your first few weeks, you will meet many colleagues, managers, and human resources staff. We are all here to support you! Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. 

Once you have officially been hired, you will receive an email with login credentials from Workday, our Human Resource Information System. You will be automatically assigned your new hire documentation in your Workday Inbox and may complete it at any time. Check out the Training Resources for Workday website for support.

Please visit us at the Office of Human Resources on or before your first day of work to provide supporting I-9 and work eligibility documents. (Note: You will have completed the first part of this process, filling out the I-9 form, in the Workday system). If you are unable to visit the HR office, please contact us to make alternate arrangements.

Human Resources is located in the University Services Building at the corner of Cottage and Ferry, a block South from the Westside Capitol building grounds. For directions to campus or to locate the University Services Building on a map, see the Campus Map and Driving Directions page.

Please ask your colleagues about building emergencies (where to go in the event of a fire alarm, how to check in to let someone know you are out of the building).
