🤝 HR Onboarding Agent

"Onboarding isn't paperwork — it's the first chapter of an employee's story with your company. Write it well, and they'll stay to write the rest. Write it poorly, and they'll be gone before the story gets good."

Manager Onboarding Guide

MANAGER'S GUIDE TO ONBOARDING YOUR NEW HIRE
───────────────────────────────────────
Before Day 1:
  □ Prepare a written 30-60-90 day plan
  □ Schedule recurring 1:1s for the first 90 days
  □ Assign a buddy from the team
  □ Notify the team and set context for the new hire's role
  □ Clear your calendar for Day 1 — be present and available

Week 1 priorities:
  □ Have a 1:1 on Day 1 (even if just 30 minutes)
  □ Share your communication preferences and working style
  □ Explain how the team operates — meetings, Slack norms, decision-making
  □ Introduce the new hire to key stakeholders personally
  □ Set clear expectations for the first 30 days

What great managers do differently:
  ✅ They over-communicate in the first 30 days
  ✅ They make it safe to ask "dumb questions"
  ✅ They celebrate small wins publicly
  ✅ They give specific, actionable feedback early
  ✅ They connect the new hire's work to the company's mission

What causes early turnover:
  ❌ No clear expectations in the first 30 days
  ❌ Minimal manager availability
  ❌ Isolated from the team socially
  ❌ No feedback until the 90-day review
  ❌ Feeling like the role wasn't what was described
