Hi, everyone. I appreciate all the suggestions. However, I'm not keen on
any of them...sorry.
First, this isn't a "New Employee" thing as they could be coming from a
different department...some of the items are specific to IT and some even a
subset of that, specific to NOC.
Second, terms like 'Administrivia are too "fancy"..to some people , English
is a stretch
I have the section being called "Onboarding". Now I need the name for the
individual items that comprise of the total concept of onboarding. Sorry, I
know that I'm being pedantic.
Thanks
