============================================== Department and Supervisor Onboarding Checklist ============================================== This checklist is for the supervisor and department to work through when onboarding a new hire into Digital Collections. It covers preparation before the new hire arrives, the first week, the first 30 days, and ongoing relationship-building, ending with 30-/60-/90-day follow-up. Pair it with :doc:`03_people` to identify who to loop in for introductions and :doc:`06_glossary` to help the new hire get oriented to our terminology. -------------- Before Arrival -------------- .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :widths: 85 15 * - Checklist Item - Status * - Parking arrangements secured - ☐ * - Office space prepared - ☐ * - Order essential equipment and supplies as needed - ☐ * - Phone and voice mail set up complete - ☐ * - Network drive access arranged with IT - ☐ * - Request access to necessary systems (as needed) - ☐ * - Add new hire to departmental distribution lists - ☐ --------------------------------- Digital Collections System Access --------------------------------- Not every role needs every system below — check off what applies based on the incoming role (see :doc:`03_people`).
