Onboarding Process

There are generally three people involved in the process of onboarding a new employee: the Onboarding Manager, an Admin/HR contact, and an Onboarding Mentor.

Schedule

One of the first tasks assigned to new employees is to review the Onboarding Schedule for their first week, which typically includes several training sessions, a daily Orientation Meeting with the Onboarding Manager and a daily check-in call with the Onboarding Mentor.

Tasks

We use Trello boards to manage onboarding-related tasks, but nearly all onboarding content is contained in this Handbook. Tasks are captured in several Trello board templates (see below), each of which includes suggested timelines/deadlines and links to relevant Handbook content for each task.

Tools and resources for managing the process:

• Manager Checklist (Trello board) (for onboarding managers)
• Admin/HR Checklist (Trello board) (for Judy)
• Mentor Handbook (guidelines for onboarding mentors)

Trello board templates for new hires:

• New Hire Checklist (Trello board) (for all new hires)
• New Engineer checklist (Trello board) (for new devs only)
• New Project Manager Checklist (Trello board) (for new PMs only)
