Remote Employee Onboarding Template

πŸ‘‹
Below is a template that we use both internally and with our new hire when onboarding a new employee! Please note that this page is a preview and some features may be missing - in order to see the full version and download the template yourself, head to our Notion page here.
⚠️
HOW TO USE THIS TEMPLATE
  1. The checklist below is for your internal onboarding tasks
    1. Assign each task by tagging the appropriate person (type @name on each line item)
    2. Find and update any coded text to fit your company
  2. The General Onboarding Template page linked below is the new hire-facing onboarding process/checklist. Review the instructions for that template inside the page.
  3. Remember this template is meant to fit you and your company, so adjust it accordingly! This template is very modular, so add, take away, and edit as you see fit.
  4. Delete this callout when done/ready!
