First day
Introduce the team, clarify reporting relationships, review the orientation plan and show the new hire where to find policies, systems and support.
First week
Arrange role-appropriate learning, supervised practice and check-ins. Confirm who assesses readiness and how the new hire should ask questions or escalate concerns.
Weeks two through four
Review progress against the agreed orientation plan. Adjust support to demonstrated needs, gather feedback from the new hire and preceptor, and document next steps.
Day-30 conversation
