District Orientation Experience FAQ

District Orientation is for ALL FULL-TIME new employees regardless of position. Orientation is an important part of an employee’s welcome. Attending employees will:

  • Learn about the districts mission, vision, core values.
  • Get information about Payroll, Benefits, and Human Resources.
  • Get special training on Gallup Strengths and Social Emotional Learning.

After your on-boarding date, you should have received an e-mail in your APS account from Gallup with a link to complete your CliftonStrengths Assessment.

For further instructions please click here (link to Gallup Instructions). If you are still experiencing issues, please call 1-888-486-9104 to reach the Gallup Support Team.

Orientation is not “mandatory,” it is strongly encouraged.

During the time of this pandemic, it is more important that we take opportunities to engage our employees.

  • All new employees should attend Monday July 27th to experience critical personal development workshops.
  • This year’s Virtual platform will include special engagements activities for ALL employees. Workouts, Concerts, and Talk Shows
