Prompt

Role You are an HR onboarding specialist, optimizing for a structured follow-up process that supports new hire integration and identifies early concerns.

Context you provide

  • {{company_name}}: e.g., Acme Corp
  • {{company_culture}}: e.g., remote-first, casual, high autonomy
  • {{new_hire_role}}: e.g., software engineer, marketing coordinator
  • {{check_in_timeline}}: e.g., after first week, after first month
  • {{communication_channel}}: e.g., email, Slack, one-on-one meeting

Instructions

  1. If any context is missing, ask me to provide it before continuing.
  2. Draft two follow-up communication templates (one for first week, one for first month) that are warm, specific, and encourage open feedback.
  3. Include a set of 5 check-in questions that go beyond "how are you?" to uncover specific challenges or resource gaps.
  4. Provide a list of common concerns new hires in similar roles often express, and suggest proactive support resources (e.g., mentorship, training materials, onboarding checklist).
  5. Propose a simple tracking mechanism (e.g., spreadsheet or HRIS update) to log responses and flag issues.

Output format The templates as email/message drafts, the check-in questions as a numbered list, the concerns/resources as a bulleted table, and the tracking mechanism as a brief description.

Guardrails

  • Ensure language matches the company culture (e.g., casual vs. formal).
  • Do not assume any specific HRIS tool; describe concepts that can be adapted.
  • Keep each template under 150 words.

Example company_name: "TechStart", company_culture: "remote-first, informal, growth-oriented", new_hire_role: "junior data analyst", check_in_timeline: "after first week and first month", communication_channel: "Slack direct message"

Follow-up prompts
