Before day one
- Decide what this role gets: which apps, shared logins, devices, keys and cards.
- Create their work email and the app accounts they need.
- Prepare their laptop or phone and note the serial numbers.
- Send first-day details: start time, where to go, who to ask for, what to bring.
- Add them to payroll with their tax forms.
On day one
- Hand over devices, keys and badges, and record what was handed over.
- Have them sign in and turn on two-step verification.
- Share any shared logins through a password manager, not on paper or by text.
- Walk them through who to ask for what.
In the first week
- Check they can get into everything they need.
- Remove anything they were given but don’t need.
- Save the record of what they have, with dates.
