A new hire’s first week

A good first week helps a new hire get up to speed faster and makes them glad they joined.

Be ready before day one

Desk, computer, logins, tools and a schedule for the week ready before they arrive. Tell the team who is starting.

Give them a buddy

Pair them with a friendly, experienced worker they can ask anything, so small questions do not pile up.

Set clear goals

Explain what they should learn in the first week, the first month and the first 90 days, and what good work looks like.

Check in at the end of the week

A short conversation: how was the week, what is unclear, what do you need. Fix small problems before they grow.
