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:
