New Employee Information

Welcome to Care New England Health System. In order to give you the information, knowledge and skills you will need to be successful at CNE, we have developed a three-stage orientation program: 

1. First Look

The first stage is "First Look." Please make sure you read the materials enclosed in your "First Look" orientation packet which includes our Mission, Vision and Values, as well as important patient centered, infection prevention, environment of care and operations information.

2. New Employee Orientation

The second part is New Employee Orientation (NEO). Usually this is your first day. You will join new colleagues from across the health system and learn more about Care New England and its affiliates. Your human resources coordinator will inform you of the date and time you are scheduled to attend. NEO is held on the campus of Butler Hospital in the historic Ray Conference Center. Click here for directions.

There are times when we need to conduct a virtual New Employee Orientation (vNEO). Below is the link for you to experience our new employee orientation remotely.
