Onboarding Best Practices


🟩 Do’s

🔔 Break Offboarding into three phases: ACT (Admin, Company, Tasks)

<aside> 🔥 Objective: Ensure your new hire is set up for maximum success

</aside>

1️⃣ Admin: paperwork, tools, and environment

2️⃣ Company: Culture, Goals, Team, and Roles

3️⃣ Tasks: How does the new employee fit into the above and how to do their job successfully


🟥 Don’ts

1️⃣ Expect them to know how to do the job on day one

2️⃣ Expect your job to get easier instantly

3️⃣ Leave them alone for too long - make sure you’re over communicating frequently

4️⃣ Leave them with vague ideas of how to succeed at the company - use concrete examples

5️⃣ Make them feel like an outsider - do ask them for their opinion frequently in meetings. A fresh perspective is often the best perspective.

6️⃣ Stop onboarding or expect onboarding to finish after 1 week. Onboarding should last up to 1 year. The best companies (like the Navy Seals) never stop training and onboarding. Make it part of your culture.


🔔 Start onboarding immediately after they accept the offer:

⚠️   Expect your job to get harder before it gets easier
