30 Days Employee Onboarding Checklist

A 30 days employee onboarding checklist has one main job. Confirming that what was assigned in the first fortnight actually got done.

Compliance training is the usual gap. It is assigned during a week when the person is busy learning the role, deferred, and then forgotten by everyone. A month later the record shows it outstanding and nobody has looked at the record.

Check four things at thirty days. Training assigned against training completed. Policies issued against policies acknowledged. Any role-specific checks, licences or clearances confirmed rather than pending. And a first structured conversation with the manager about how it is going.

Following up incomplete training is part of showing you took reasonable steps, so record the chase as well as the completion.
