Regular-Status Hires Must Attend New Hire Orientation – All regular-status employees (regardless of FTE) are required to attend the new hire orientation (NHO) in order to successfully pass the New Hire Probationary Period. NHO is held on a monthly basis on the island of O‘ahu.
Employees who do not work on O‘ahu will view the NHO via streaming video (see Procedures section below for more information).
If an employee is being rehired into a regular-status position and has attended the NHO within the last year, the employee will not need to attend the NHO again (unless otherwise advised by an RCUH representative).
Certificate of Awareness and Understanding – NHO attendees must sign and submit the “Certificate of Awareness and Understanding Form” to RCUH Human Resources. The form is located on last page of the New Hire Reference Guide.

V. Procedures
A. NHO via Live Session – It is recommended that employees hired to work on O‘ahu attend a live session of NHO. These sessions are held on a monthly basis by an RCUH representative. Employees sign up for their preferred date when completing new hire documents via the Electronic Hiring System (EHS). In the event of an employee not being able to attend a live session, the person must view NHO via video.
B. NHO via Streaming Video – Employees hired in locations other than O‘ahu will view the NHO via streaming video (Part 1 and Part 2).
