For New Employees

Berkeley Lab welcomes you!

Engage in the following steps over your first 6-8 months:


The Berkeley Lab Onboarding Program is designed to provide you with tools and resources necessary to acclimate you to the Lab and guide you to information applicable to your new role. This program provides all new staff with consistent information that reflects Berkeley Lab as a whole organization and will help you to quickly feel like a productive member of the Lab community.

Please work with your supervisor or HR Division Partner should you have any questions about the Onboarding program.
