Get a new hire ready before day one and oriented into the mission, the role, and the people in their first weeks, because a good hire is easy to lose in a bad first month.
| Item | Ready? |
|---|---|
| Workspace, equipment, and accounts set up | |
| Paperwork ready to complete: eligibility verification, tax forms, handbook | |
| A first-week schedule, so their first days are not a void | |
| The team told who is joining and why |
| Item | Covered? |
|---|---|
| The mission and the people you serve, so they know why they are here | |
| The role and what success looks like, from their success profile | |
| Introductions to the people they will work with | |
| Early, real work, not a month of watching | |
| Who to ask when they are stuck |
The test: by the end of the first weeks, can the new hire say why the organization exists, what their job is, and who their people are? If not, the orientation missed one of the three.
