New Employee Experience Retention and Mentoring Program Location: 205ABC In March 2021, a subcommittee of the joint NALC- USPS City Delivery and Workplace Improvement Task Force began creating and implementing two pilot programs designed to improve the onboarding experience, provide a mentoring program, and increase retention rates for new letter carriers. Since then, NALC and the Postal Service have launched the two joint pilot programs in almost 900 offices throughout the country. The New Employee Experience and Retention Program modifies how new letter carriers are utilized, mainly in the beginning stages of their USPS careers, and provides them with the necessary resources and equipment to transition into their new job. The New Employee Mentoring Program provides newly hired city letter carriers the opportunity to have mentoring relationships with experienced city carriers. This workshop, presented by the subcommittee members from NALC Headquarters, will provide participants with a detailed explanation of how each program works, where the pilots are currently deployed, potential expansion plans for the future, and the positive results of the two programs so far.
