"Your IBM" is a new employee orientation class designed to help you hit the ground running as you begin your career at IBM. This class will give you the road map to help you understand your company's core values, rich heritage of technology leadership, Innovation, and the important role employees are being asked to play as we continue to drive growth and innovation.
Your first days at IBM will be at one of four locations in the U.S. where you will take part in interactive and thoughtful discussions about IBM, our values, strategic direction and the role you will play as you begin your career.
This classroom experience will include a group of new employees with a variety of backgrounds, working in a range of IBM divisions, so you can begin to create a network of colleagues that spans the company.
Your IBM will include all the basics, such as filling out your paperwork and learning about IBM benefits, but it is designed to give you much more. This experience should leave you with a better understanding of your company and its place in the world.
There will be conversations around a variety of topics, including:
- Executive Welcome
- IBM Leadership Through the Years
- Our Values at Work
- Collaborating Across the Matrix
- Why Innovation Matters
- Professional Development at IBM
- Becoming Productive (Tools)
- The Next Steps
It's important to come to Your IBM ready to complete required paperwork. Please review the checklist and forms listed under the Before you arrive section.
Your Connections Partner will contact
you and will provide the logistical information that you'll need
to attend the Your IBM class. If you have any questions,
please contact your Connections Partner or staffing representative.
You'll be assigned a connections coach who will play an important role during your first 60 days at IBM. Your connections coach is around to help you get acclimated to IBM after the Your IBM class, so feel free to ask your coach about things you wouldn't want to ask your manager — where to get coffee, where to make a copy, or where to get a haircut. Take advantage of this valuable resource.
