A great first two weeks, without chasing anyone.
Employee onboarding software for small teams: one checklist for the new hire, their manager, HR and IT, so the laptop is ready, the accounts are set up and the introductions happen. When someone leaves, the exit is just as tidy.
Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.
Everyone knows their part before day one.
Start from the built-in Company onboarding template, the standard first two weeks: account and equipment before day one, introductions on day one, training and goals in the first fortnight. Every step has an owner, and every owner is notified.
- Step owners: New hire, Manager, HR, IT / Admin
- Steps grouped by Day 1, Week 1 and beyond
- Progress bars that turn red when a step is overdue
Start onboarding in four steps.
Pick the person, fill in their employment details, choose a checklist and press start. Due dates count from their start date, so nothing has to be worked out by hand.
- Who, Employment details, Checklist, Review & start
- A brand-new hire with no account yet, or someone already here
- The hire becomes an active employee once the checklist is complete
Your own templates, and the extras handled.
Build templates for each department, add equipment and access requests, and let startbuddi assign required learning and policy sign-offs, send the welcome memo and tell the manager when someone joins.
- Templates scoped to a department
- Equipment & access requests, raised for the owner or admin to approve
- Required learning, policy acknowledgements and a welcome memo
- A welcome call, Meet the team and 30/60/90-day check-ins, booked in startbuddi Live
Goodbyes, done properly.
When someone gives notice, start their offboarding and the exit checklist appears: handover note, files, exit interview, equipment and access, in the right order. Their access stays until you complete it. Nothing is removed today.
- Hand everything to a colleague; their history stays attributed to them
- Track equipment pending return
- Destructive steps stay off until you turn them on
From offer to fully up to speed.
Onboarding pulls in the rest of People and Work, so the new hire's first weeks run from one checklist.
