New Employee Orientation (NEO) is an introduction to UCLA for new employees. All new employees are required to attend a session as soon as possible following their date of hire. 

This NEO is for all UCLA employees with the exception of those who work for UCLA Health and those who are served by the UCLA HR Payroll and Operations Center. (Visit hrpcnorth.ucla.edu/new-employee-orientation-neo-digital to see which areas are served by the HRPOC and for more information about the HRPOC NEO.) 

On registering for a session, Zoom log-in information for the orientation will be provided to the participant via the registration confirmation e-mail generated by the UC Learning Center. 

Topics covered in New Employee Orientation include: 

  • Our University of California (UC) context
  • The dynamism and diversity of UCLA
  • The benefits of belonging at UCLA
  • Your workplace protections and responsibilities
  • The variety of career opportunities available to you
  • University health and welfare options
  • Retirement programs 

Important Note: Eligible employees must sign up for health insurance and disability benefits programs within their period of initial eligibility (PIE) which is thirty-one days from the date they become eligible for benefits regardless of when they attend the orientation session. The New Employee Benefits Orientation is provided by UCPath and is separate from this orientation. It is attended in one of two ways, via a live webinar or a pre-recorded webinar. Details about accessing these options can be found at UCOP New Employee Benefits Orientations webpage
