New Hire Onboarding Tracker
One card per hire, ten checklist items, red when overdue. Managers get answers in five seconds.
The problem
Every week brings new hires. Contract, benefits, email, laptop, badge, orientation... info scatters across spreadsheets and emails. Things get missed. Status questions take forever.
The solution approach
A local tracker. One card per hire with ten tasks. HR ticks items off. Overdue items auto-turn red.
What you will end up with
- Home list sorted by start date; each card shows progress (X/10) and overall color.
- Detail view shows ten tasks: contract / benefits / email / internal accounts / laptop / badge / orientation / buddy / week-one retro / probation review.
- Ticking a task opens a small popup for completed-by and date.
- Overdue tasks auto-red; yellow before that.
- Excel bulk import of new hires.
- A "weekly follow-up" view aggregates red tasks for the HR meeting.
