You probably won’t meet all of the nearly 4,000 of us your first week, but we’re betting that you’ll soon feel right at home. Aside from the connections you’ll make in your day-to-day responsibilities, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to find your people, such as:
Communication
First and foremost, help us to keep you in the loop:
- Check the intranet known as i2. Here, you’ll see a newsfeed with the latest Roswell Park information, as well as an employee directory to help you locate people and places. (If you’re off the network, you’ll still be able to access portions of i2
- Check your email inbox regularly for Roswell Park communications, including important announcements, fun activities to join, and our weekly Around the Park employee e-newsletter.
- Plan to attend our quarterly employee forums and the annual State of the Center address to hear from leadership about important Roswell Park news and plans.
Connect with an Employee Network Resource Group (ENRG)
We have nearly a dozen of these staff-led networking groups that provide opportunities to seek friendship, collaboration, resources. ENRGs form around a shared bond or purpose, and offer direct access to management, allowing the groups to raise issues on behalf of employees.
Can’t-Miss Events
As a cancer care center, we are keenly aware of how precious life’s joyful moments are, and we provide many opportunities to celebrate life and each other. Some of our signature events include:
- Ride for Roswell. (June) One of the nation’s largest charity cycling events, the annual Ride for Roswell, brings together more than 7,000 riders and 1,500 volunteers to celebrate cancer survivors and raise money for cancer research and patient programs at Roswell Park. Whether you ride, volunteer or cheer, don’t miss being a part of this life-changing experience!
- Tree of Hope. (December) Bring your family to help us ring in the holiday season with a two-hour (televised!) winter wonderland festival that includes horse-drawn carriage rides, a gingerbread house contest, crafts, face-painting, music, a laser light show and tree lighting celebration.
- Employee Appreciation Day. (July) Celebrating YOU with an afternoon of food, fun, music, games and hopefully plenty of sunshine!
