Structure the first two weeks
Week 1 and Week 2 columns break onboarding into digestible phases. Checklists inside each card track specific tasks like HR forms, tool setup, and shadowing sessions.

Set milestones for the first month
Month 1 cards capture bigger goals like the first deliverable and the 30-day check-in. These keep both the new hire and the manager aligned on expectations.

Archive and improve the process
Move completed cards to the Completed column. After each onboarding cycle, review the board to spot recurring pain points and refine the process for the next hire.
01 Can I reuse this board for every new hire?

Yes. Duplicate the board for each new employee, then customize cards with their specific role requirements. The column structure stays the same while the details adapt to each hire.
02 Who should have access to the onboarding board?
+
The new hire, their manager, their onboarding buddy, and HR. Invite them as members so they can check off tasks and leave comments. Use viewer access for anyone who just needs visibility.
