Onboarding

First-Week Onboarding Plan

AI Tool: ChatGPTCategory: HR

Build a day-by-day first week: access, people, a first win, and what good looks like on Friday.

The Prompt

Design a first-week onboarding plan a new hire can follow without guessing.

Role: {{role}}
Start date: {{start}}
Team: {{team}}
Systems they need: {{systems}}
First useful win we want by Friday: {{first_win}}

Output a Monday–Friday plan:
- Morning / afternoon blocks
- Who they meet (name or role) and why
- Access checklist
- A Friday demo or write-up that proves {{first_win}}
- Manager checkpoints (15 min) on Tue and Thu

Keep it humane: no 12-hour days of reading. Flag any access that usually slips (payroll, 2FA, repo).

Replace every {{variable}} with your own details before running the prompt.
