Opinion
What we cut. And what we kept.
This template is edited, not comprehensive. The comprehensive version is why onboarding still runs in spreadsheets.
Cut
- Generic welcome email templates nobody reads.
- Checklists per department with no shared view.
- Day-one surprises when IT isn't ready.
- Check-ins that drift into month two.
Kept
- IT sign-off gate before the start date.
- 30/60/90 check-in calendar with reminders.
- Role-specific compliance training tracked.
- Manager approval gate at 30 days.

Why teams use this template
Employee onboarding is one of the most process-intensive moments in the employee lifecycle. When it runs on email threads and shared spreadsheets, steps get missed, IT access isn't ready on day one, compliance training is tracked informally, and no one has a clean record of what was actually completed.
This template coordinates IT provisioning, HR paperwork, manager introductions, and compliance requirements in a single auditable workflow. Each task has a clear owner, a deadline, and an approval gate before the employee is marked fully onboarded.
