The manager's part of onboarding
Know what to prepare, say and check from the offer through the first ninety days
What you decide, prepare and do when someone new joins your team
What it does
When someone new joins your team, HR runs the process but you decide what actually happens. This guide covers only the manager's part: choosing a buddy, planning the first week, introducing the team, and setting the shape of the first ninety days. Reach for it before you write the offer, before the first day, and again when you sit down to plan month one, two and three. It also covers what changes when you and your new joiner do not share an office. Instead of starting from a blank page, you get a working checklist split into before the first day, the first week and the first ninety days, plus a table of what a new joiner and a manager should each have done by each thirty day point.
