Yes

A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:

In New Employee Orientation we review the College’s sustainability efforts and encourage new employees to get involved and participate. We emphasize the benefit of printing to multi-function devices if printing is necessary and our single stream recycling programs. They are also given additional resources for learning more about what Babson does to focus on sustainability via our orientation website.

All new employees receive a reusable mug, tote bag, and grocery bag during orientation, and are encouraged to use them on campus in the future.

We are about to roll out a new onboarding process that will include sending a sustainability "quiz" to employees before their first day. In addition, sustainability tips and updates will be sent occasionally with other communication to new employees in their first 6 months at Babson.
