Process Guide for HR & Managers - New Hire Preparation
This document is a Process Guide for HR and Hiring Managers. It outlines what needs to be done to prepare for new employees - before they arrive and on their first day. Also refer to New Hire Checklist for Administrators.
Overview
This process guide for HR & managers is used to prepare for new employees and is so much more than a simple checklist. It's used to tie together the Who, What, When, Where, and Why of bringing a new employee into your company, before they arrive and on their first day. It tells staff in each preparation role what’s expected of them, what to do when, how to do it, and what tools to use. It eliminates duplication, ambiguity and makes them accountable, and eliminates the excuse, “I didn’t know I was supposed to do that.”
The guide for preparing for new employees includes the following content:
