If Connectors Available

If ~~HRIS is connected:

  • Pull new hire details and team org chart

  • Auto-populate tools access list based on role

If ~~knowledge base is connected:

Tips

  • Customize for the role — An engineer's onboarding looks different from a designer's.

  • Don't overload Day 1 — Focus on setup and relationships. Deep work starts Week 2.

  • Assign a buddy — Having a go-to person who isn't their manager makes a huge difference.
