Onboarding Tasks

30 items

New starters get everything on day one and retain almost none of it, then spend three months quietly not knowing things. Spread it out: draw two or three tasks a day across the first fortnight and the same material actually lands. Thirty tasks covering access, context, people and the first real piece of work. The ones that involve meeting a specific person matter most: the org chart teaches nothing that a twenty-minute conversation does not teach better.
