Successful job performance depends upon an array of factors
including - first and foremost - a clear and full understanding of
and commitment to workplace expectations and guidelines. As part of the orientation process for newly hired staff,
supervisors should review Duke's policies regarding workplace
expectations and guidelines in addition to any department or
job-specific expectations. New staff receive a copy of the Duke Staff Handbook during the orientation
event. After reviewing the handbook and having an opportunity to
ask questions or seek clarification, staff should sign the
Acknowledgement of Receipt form on the back page and return it to
their supervisor for inclusion in the individual's department
personnel file. Supervisors and staff should conduct regular discussions in
regard to job performance, expectations and behaviors. These
discussions should include an annual review of performance
contributions, goals for the coming year and future professional
development opportunities.
