Why it exists

the need

Onboarding looked different from team to team. This guide gives every new hire the same strong start, and it structures the time managers already spend instead of adding to it.

Three phases

one goal each

days 1 to 30

Welcome

New hires feel welcomed and settled in.

Orientation, compliance training, a 30-day check-in and the first survey.

days 31 to 60

Connect

Relationships and a feel for the culture, early.

A 60-day check-in and a first draft of goals to review with the manager.

days 61 to 90

Grow

Resources for continued learning and a growth mindset.
