BUILD THE TEAM
Onboard New Hires the Right Way
A first-week onboarding plan so new hires get productive fast
What it solves
A new hire's first week often means waiting around for someone to show them what to do. This checklist plan is for owners bringing on their next person. You prepare before day one, run a structured first day and week, and set 30-day goals and a review, so new hires get productive fast.
What this is worth: Consultants build ops and onboarding systems at $150 to $300 an hour.

Questions, answered
Four items: paperwork sent and signed, tools and logins set up, the first-day schedule shared, and someone assigned to greet them. Handling these early means day one starts with a welcome, not a scramble.
Through the first 30 days. After day one and week one, you note what they should be able to do on their own, schedule their first review, and capture feedback in both directions.
Yes. Handing over the team handbook is part of day one, and the make-it-stick section points new hires to where your SOPs live and who to ask for help.
