### Onboarding Checklist

faqtic.co

If onboarding is different every time and mostly improvised, new hires notice — and so does your retention rate.

## The problem

No standard process — each manager onboards differently, and critical steps get skipped.

IT access, equipment, and accounts aren't ready on day one, making a bad first impression.

New hires feel lost after week one because nobody owns the 30/60/90-day experience.

## What you'll get

A structured checklist covering every phase from pre-boarding to the 90-day review.

Clear task ownership — HR, manager, and IT each know exactly what to do and when.

A repeatable process that makes every new hire feel welcome, prepared, and productive.

## What's inside

- Pre-boarding tasks: contract, equipment order, system access, welcome email.
- Day 1 checklist: office tour, team introductions, tools setup, first-day agenda.
- Week 1 tasks: role expectations, key meetings, buddy assignment, initial training.
- Month 1 check-in: progress review, feedback session, goal setting.
- 90-day review: performance conversation, probation sign-off, development plan.
