onboarding
Generate an onboarding checklist and first-week plan for a new hire. Use when someone has a start date coming up, building the pre-start task list (accounts, equipment, buddy), scheduling Day 1 and Week 1, or setting 30/60/90-day goals for a new team member.

Tips
1. Customize for the role — An engineer's onboarding looks different from a designer's.
2. Don't overload Day 1 — Focus on setup and relationships. Deep work starts Week 2.
3. Assign a buddy — Having a go to person who isn't their manager makes a huge difference.
