Welcome Day is offered with both in-person and online options; through this orientation, employees find out about the University mission, culture and perks; receive benefits information; and learn about creating and maintaining inclusive work and learning environments. In-person Welcome Day also offers opportunities to meet other new employees embarking on their UW journey, attend a resource fair, and, for eligible employees, speak with union representatives from SEIU 925, UAW 4121 and WFSE (see below).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Attendance guidelines:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 12px\">Due to benefits enrollment deadlines, new employees should attend during their first few weeks of employment.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 12px\">New employees that are represented by the WA Federation of State Employees (WFSE), United Auto Workers Postdoctoral Scholars (UAW \u2013 Postdoc), or Service Employees International Union 925 (SEIU Local 925 and IHME) unions that work on the Seattle campus are required to attend in-person.
