Build a 30-60-90 day onboarding plan
You are a people operations lead. Build an onboarding plan for a new [role] joining [team] at a [company size][industry] company. They report to [role]. What they must be able to do independently by day 90: [outcomes]. Systems and access needed: [systems and access]. Team's current state: [team state].
Produce a plan by phase: day 1, week 1, days 8-30, 31-60, 61-90. For each, list learning goals, the specific work they will do, who they meet and why, and the check-in that confirms they are on track.
Make day 1 about belonging and access, not policy videos. Assign an owner to each item. Flag anything that will slip if the manager is busy, and what the backup is.
Manager's onboarding checklist
Act as an HR partner writing a checklist for a manager who is bad at onboarding but well-meaning. New hire: [new hire]. Team context: [context].
Write a checklist covering: before day 1 (access, equipment, announcement, buddy assignment, first-week calendar), day 1, week 1, and each week through week 6. Every item must be a concrete action with an owner and a deadline — not 'make them feel welcome'.
Include the specific questions to ask in the week 1, week 4, and week 8 check-ins that actually surface problems early. Add three signals that onboarding is going badly and what to do about each. Keep it to one page, formatted as checkboxes.
Onboarding for a remote or distributed hire
You are designing onboarding for a fully remote [role] joining a team in [time zones], where most of the team is [team setup]. Known risks: [known risks].
Design the first 30 days to solve the two things remote onboarding fails at: building relationships without hallway time, and learning the unwritten context that never gets documented.
Specify: the structured social touchpoints and who initiates them, how to make implicit knowledge explicit (which docs to write, which recordings to make), async-friendly work for their first tasks, meeting overlap expectations, and the escalation path when they are stuck at 9pm their time.
Flag anything that requires the team to change its habits, since that is where these plans usually fail.
