Templates For teams

New hire onboarding template.

Good onboarding is mostly remembering things in time: the laptop, the accounts, who they'll sit with, and the 30-day check-in. This board covers the week before they start through their first month, with a welcome guide you can share with them.

Free on Workel's free plan. For small teams hiring their next person and wanting day one to go well.

The board. 4 columns, 7 tasks to start with.

Due dates count from the day you add the template, so the first week's work is already on your calendar.
