Employee Onboarding Process Template
A new hire's first week largely decides whether they stay. This template puts what HR, the manager and IT must prepare, and when, into one checklist.
Free. Lanes, steps and approvers come ready; you can change everything.

Each row is a role (swimlane); steps run left to right.
