New employees at PRO are in an extremely difficult situation. No matter how much training or orientation you receive, you will be unavoidably thrust into the world of EMS. With the high volume of emergency work here at PRO, a new employee must always be prepared to deal with situations that they have never come across. You must also be prepared to acclimate yourself to the different personalities and procedures that you will encounter.
All personnel with a significant amount of time here at PRO will be expected to assist and train new employees. This training will include paperwork, procedures, and driving among other things. All PRO "veterans" and new employees are expected to get along and work together. Leave all personality conflicts outside. We are a comparatively small company that does a high volume of work. The staff needs to function as a closely-knit group.
All new employees will be evaluated on paperwork, attitude, and overall performance. Use the Policy and Procedure Manual and your common sense to consistently improve all aspects of your performance.
This entire New Employee Orientation Process may take approximately six (6) to eight (8) weeks.
| As a new employee it’s imperative that you review the following: |
| • |
Policies and Procedures |
| • |
Employee Handbook |
| • |
Weekend Group Assignments |
| • |
Employee Benefit Information |
| • |
Continuing Education Schedule |
One more thing…..
In late 1914, celebrated polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, leader of the British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, set sail with a 27 man crew, many of whom, it is said, had responded to the following recruitment notice. In a way, so have you:
| “Men and women wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.” |
| -- Sir Ernest Shackleton |
Much will be expected of you at Pro. It can be hard and demanding work accompanied by the feeling that EMS is a thankless job. Often it is. Sometimes, however, our work can be more rewarding than you’d ever expect. Are you willing to meet these challenges to occasionally obtain “honour and recognition in case of success”?
