    Within the first day and beyond, it is crucial to properly onboard new hires to create a positive impression and prevent unnecessary turnover. The checklist provides tasks to complete before and after the start date, including setting up the workplace, providing orientation materials, filling out paperwork, reviewing safety procedures, and assigning a mentor for the first day. Without a clear plan, one new hire found no one present on his first day and lacked basic supplies, leading him to leave within six months. Proper onboarding following the checklist can help retain new talent and avoid wasted recruiting costs.

    The New Hire 

    Onboarding Checklist:
    DAY ONE AND BEYOND
    Congratulations!
    You have hired your dream employee and they are eager to start working for
    you. Now what?

    A company’s first impression can have a lasting influence on a new hire—good or
    bad. Dr. Marla Gottschalk, an industrial/organizational psychologist, describes
    a recent grad’s first day at a new job:

    He had been impressed by the recruitment process...and from every


    indication was about to embark upon a truly great career. Then he
    arrived on-site for his first day of work; there was no plan for his
    arrival. His direct supervisor was not present. There was trouble
    ascertaining if he had been assigned a workspace or a computer.

    Within six months, the new hire was moving on and the employer was back to
    square one with recruitment.

    You are already aware of the wasted time and money associated with needlessly
    losing new hires. But it’s not easy to remember every single onboarding task
    ... until now. Our new hire checklist will help you keep track of all the required
    onboarding tasks so you never miss a beat.
