The Division of Human Resources is thrilled to welcome you to Virginia Tech! We conduct New Employee Benefits Orientation for all new employees. New hires are scheduled to attend an orientation meeting within the first month of employment due to the benefits enrollment deadline.
The following are some of the important New Hire benefits discussed during our half-day orientation meeting:
1. Welcome and Introduction
2. Optional Benefits
3. Health Insurance
4. Retirement
5. Leave
Pre-Orientation: Review Joining Virginia Tech: Your First Days, Weeks, and Months.
Before joining a Zoom meeting on a computer or mobile device, you can download the Zoom app from https://zoom.us/download. Otherwise, you will be prompted to download and install Zoom when you click a join link sent by HR.

Each meeting has a unique 9, 10, or 11-digit number called a meeting ID that will be required to join a Zoom meeting sent typically a couple of days before your New Employee Orientation date.
