Integration into the Workplace

It is necessary for jobs to integrate their employees into the workplace, its rules and regulations, and its culture. Depending on a job and its requirements, there are a variety of ways—some more involved than others—in which workers can become accustomed to or a part of workplace practices. Recording such methods in an archive allows for the recognition of the diversity of these practices and how they have shifted over time.

This collection represents papers and documentation that welcome and orientate individuals to the workforce. Included in this collection are orientation documents that establish the Andersen Consulting dress code in the 1990s. This dress code details the standards of appearance and dress for women working for Andersen Consulting. Next is a stock (share) of ownership in the Boston Celtics from the late 1980s. This stock was available for purchase in the gift shop of the Boston Garden, and is a true share of ownership for the Celtics. Third is a license given to an individual to welcome them to the Aiken County Sheriff's Department. This particular license is for the Detention Division of the Aiken County Sheriff’s Department, which covers Aiken’s detention center. The fourth and final item in this collection is a program for the inauguration of the Illinois Senate from January 2023. This program lists all the Senators of the 103rd Illinois General Assembly.
