Overview
Onboarding goes wrong in the gaps between people: the laptop nobody ordered, the account nobody created, the check-in nobody scheduled. This checklist assigns each step to the manager, IT, HR or the new hire, and groups steps by when they need to happen.
It imports into Notion as a page of checklists. Duplicate it for each new hire so progress is tracked per person.
Useful for
- Small companies formalising onboarding for the first time
- Managers onboarding several hires in parallel
- Remote teams that need onboarding written down rather than improvised
What's included
- Pre-boarding checklist (before day one)
- Day one checklist
- Week one checklist
- 30, 60 and 90 day check-in prompts
- Owner labels on every step: Manager, IT, HR, New hire
