Three-Week New-Hire Onboarding Plan
A progressive training schedule that combines orientation, guided practice, cross-training, knowledge checks, and manager follow-up.
Learning objective
By the end of week three, the employee can independently complete core service and operational tasks, knows when to escalate, and can locate the resources needed for less-common situations.
Sequence
- Week 1: Culture, service standards, safety, essential systems, shadowing, and daily check-ins.
- Week 2: Guided practice, role-specific scenarios, cross-training, and short knowledge checks.
- Week 3: Increasing independence, observed practice, targeted retraining, and readiness review.
Evaluation
Knowledge-check results, observed performance, learner questions, error patterns, and manager feedback determine whether the employee is ready or needs additional practice.
