As part of FSIS’ internal communication plan, we have collaborated with offices across the Agency on an FSIS Onboarding Manual for new employees. The manual contains thorough and vital information about USDA, FSIS, employee benefits, pay and leave, forums available to employees, employee development, web-based tools, expected conduct, travel and an onboarding checklist. The manual will help each new employee obtain a better understanding of USDA as a department, FSIS as an agency, and the various benefits of federal employment. If you have any questions about this initiative, please contact Veronika Medina.
