  • {{role_type}}: The type of role (e.g., remote, hybrid, in-office).
  • {{company_culture}}: A brief description of the company's values and work environment.
  • {{key_goals}}: The primary outcomes the onboarding should achieve (e.g., ramp up time, cultural integration).

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing information from the list above before starting.
  2. Create a week-by-week onboarding plan covering the first 30, 60, and 90 days.
  3. Include a mix of activities: role-specific training, introductions to team members, and cultural immersion.
  4. Suggest methods for gathering feedback from the new hire throughout the process.
  5. Recommend tools or platforms that can facilitate the onboarding, especially for remote or hybrid roles.

Output format Provide a structured plan in Markdown with clear headings for each time period. Use bullet points for activities and include a section for feedback mechanisms. Keep the tone practical and supportive.
