My First Day
Today was they first day of my new job at Definity Health. I have been worried about working with new people for the past couple of weeks, but the first day went by smoothly.
The day starting with a mini-orientation with Human Resources to fill out the forms needed for new hires and to be briefed on what exactly DH does. Recently, they were aquired by United Health Group (and had three acquisitions within the last year) so DH is in the process of shifting their policies to comply with the AHG's. AHG is comprised of six subsidaries and DH belongs to the subsidary know as Uniprise. DH is primarily a call center for members and where claims are processed.
Today was dress down day and DH shirt day. The majority of the employees where wearing their purple DH shirt, which were not attractive. We (the new employees) were given a shirt to wear but we didn't have to wear it today if we chose not to. The shirt didn't match the ensemble that I picked out for the day -- so maybe next time. We got our new ID cards, toured the facilities, and sat around until lunch time because there wasn't much for use to do today. The supervisor bought the new guys lunch and then from there we headed to the new office building for DH. The new building is still in development but it looks really nice. [I will post some pictures of the new office here before the other employees arrive so I don't violate their privacy...or HIPAA. Unfornately, I no longer have an office like my old job, but we have an IT section of cubicle-esque space which is very nice. We each have our own brand new Dell computers with 17 inch LCD montitors that are attached to this pivoting hinge. The best part of the "office" is the very comfortable chairs with 87 possible adjustments. I don't know how much sitting we will be doing, but it will be nice to sit in a good chair once and a while at work.
The day went well and the 8 hours just flew by. My co-workers are really nice, and I am the only single guy in the bunch. I observed that the women out number men at least 10:1, so the guys think that's a good plus for me considering my status. But only if they knew. So I am looking forward to going to work tomorrow. We have a formal orientation followed by lunch with our manager from the corporate headquarters, her treat. I love free food.
