A first week that is a checklist against a real person record

FIG.01

What it builds on.

Onboarding goes wrong in the gaps between departments. IT does not know about the start date, facilities does not know about the desk, and the manager finds out when somebody arrives without a laptop. All three are working from different lists.

Here there is one list, hanging off the person record everybody can already see. The start date is a field, not an email, and the tasks reference the same person that Equipment and PTO reference.

  • USES People records, start dates, teams and managers
  • USES The permission model, so access ends when the record closes
  • USES Automation, so a task can open when a date arrives
Available from the startOnboarding
  • PLAN Task templates per role, team or location
  • OWN Each task owned by a named person, not a mailbox
  • TRACK What is done, what is late, before day one
  • EXIT The same list in reverse when somebody leaves
FIG.02

How it actually runs.

1

A start date is set

The person record exists before day one, with a role, a team and a manager.

2

The checklist opens

Tasks are generated from the template for that role and assigned to the people who own them.

3

Equipment and access follow

A laptop assignment and an account both point at the same person, so nothing is issued to a name that does not exist.

4

Leaving runs the same way

Offboarding reuses the structure in reverse. Return the equipment, close the access, and there is one place that says whether it happened.

FIG.03

What you can change.

Use the standard version where it fits. Change only the parts where your company is genuinely different.

DATA

Task templates

A different list for a developer, a field engineer and a working student. Build the ones you need.

RULES

Timing

Two weeks before, day one, end of first month. Tasks open when they should rather than all at once.

STATES

Task states

Open, blocked, done, not applicable. Match the way your teams actually report progress.

VIEW

Per-role views

IT sees only the access tasks. The manager sees the whole plan. The joiner sees their own.

MORE

What it works with.

NEXT

One foundation.
Everything on top of it.

Onboarding does not create a shadow list of new starters. Tasks, owners and dates attach to the People record that HR, Equipment and PTO all already use.
