Onboarding your new employees is not always easy, especially if you work remotely.
This template will help you better integrate your employees, get them operational more quickly, and make them feel comfortable.
π PH! So glad to be here again!
Onboarding new employees is never easy, especially remotely.
Have you ever tried it?
I did, and I can tell you that it was hard π. You have to integrate the newcomer in your team, you have to show him/her how you work, to buy the material, prepare the accesses, introduce him/her to everybody... And the key is to always know what he/she still needs to do to be operational.
In my previous company, we decided to formalize this process and started creating onboarding schedules, on Notion. This template has been tried and tested and is the result of several months of testing.
β¨ The idea is to provide an indicative schedule for newcomers. Some tasks will be done on the first day, some in the first week, some in the first month, etc. These deadlines are of course configurable.
Each task has a referrer. This is the person the newcomer should contact if he/she has any questions. Thanks to this template, you can not only onboard several people at the same time, but also plan several different onboarding schedules depending on their job (developer, designer...), and their team.
You will also have a quick and global overview of the progress of all your new employees, in order to realize their level of integration in your team. At a glance, you will know if your newcomers are doing well or not.
