Before Day 1

Continue to work with your Preboarding Coordinator/HR Assistant and utilize Oracle Journey's to complete the tasks assigned prior to your start date.

Many locations prefer to have you complete your professional badge photo on the same day as your Post Offer Placement Assessment (POPA) appointment. Please scroll down and review the site-specific information - select your site to find out more.

You may also receive additional information from your manager, supervisor, and/or a department-specific training delegate via email regarding the date, time, and location for you to report on your first day.

Your manager may also talk with you about department-specific information. If you don't hear from your manager prior to noon on the Friday before your start date, please refer to your offer letter for your supervisor's contact information.  If needed, contact Mayo Clinic’s HR Connect at 507-266-0440.

Day 1 and Beyond

dress

What to wear

Mayo Clinic’s Dress and Decorum standards maintain and convey Mayo Clinic’s focus on professionalism, quality, excellence, and safety. Employees with job–specific attire (such as a specific uniform), may wear this uniform on their first day. Otherwise, employees should wear business formal (for men: a suit/sport coat with dress pants, button-down collared shirt, and tie; for women: a dress, suit, skirt or dress pants with blouse or sweater) or business casual attire.
Jeans, sweatpants, tops with spaghetti straps, sweatshirts, work-out type clothing, and t-shirts (except as undershirts) are not permitted.

Tattoos may be visible if the images or words do not convey violence, discrimination, profanity, or sexually explicit content. Tattoos containing such messages must be covered with bandages, clothing, or cosmetics.

Unsure of what to wear? Think of your panel interview and what others were wearing, and model that behavior, or ask your supervisor.
