Staff onboarding checklist

The 30/60/90-day checklist that separates a new staff member who quits at month four from one who's contributing by week three.

10 min

Key takeaways

  • Day one is logistics — week one is integration
  • Schedule the 30/60/90 reviews on day one, not when they're due
  • Onboarding is a manager job, not an HR job
  • Make the first project small and finishable

Onboarding is the cheapest leverage in your year. A well-onboarded staff member is more productive faster, more loyal longer, and more likely to recommend Creighton to the next strong candidate. A badly onboarded one churns inside a year and you start over.

This chapter is built around a checklist you can copy. Day one through day ninety, with the calendar moves that make the rest happen on autopilot.
