Check-ins
Notes:
1. Onboarding communication and monitoring
Michael reviewed latest version of staff onboarding email and checklist
Site leads liked email content; wanted timelines left in to keep people on track;
Kerri and Kim said there is a lot for new staff to complete during staff orientation (other organizational policies, training, handbooks, general EPI information) that it can be difficult and overwhelming for new staff to complete NAVIGATE orientation rapidly
Decision to extend target timeline for new staff to complete the online courses to avoid overwhelming new staff: i.e., change to something like, “2 - 4 weeks and speak to your supervisor if you don't think you can do it”.
2. Sept 28 IPC Meeting
Decision to cancel the optional IPC meeting on Sept 28 due to expected absences
