Congratulations, and welcome to Mayo Clinic! We are delighted to have you join our team as a valued member of our staff.
As you embark on this life-changing career, you may have questions. We hope the site-specific information on this page will provide the answers you need. If you have questions, we encourage you to ask on the New Employee Connections discussion board or contact your supervisor.
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. HR Connect's hours are Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. Central Time.
Day 1 and Beyond
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.
Professional portrait
You are encouraged to have your professional portrait taken prior to your start date to avoid long lines or delays on your first day. This photo will be used for your identification and access badge, our internal directory, and other professional communications.
Options for completing your portrait vary by location. Please review the Site-specific information – select your site to find out more section below to determine which option works best for you.
Note: All options require you to obtain your Person ID (this is different than your Employee ID). Your Person ID can be found in the Welcome email from your Preboarding Coordinator/HR Assistant. Please bring a photo ID to collect your badge.
Adherence to Mayo Clinic’s dress and decorum policy is required for your photo.
Orientation and training
To welcome you and help get you started, you'll complete an online orientation program that consists of several online training modules.
Once you've successfully logged into the Mayo Clinic network, the online modules are accessible through a system called MyLearning. Your supervisor or designated trainer will send you your login ID on or after your start date, along with specific login instructions.
On your first day, you will also be assigned additional Journey tasks, including setting up direct deposit, entering tax withholding information, and enrolling in available benefits. You may also be assigned additional training based on your role or department.
