What HR Onboarding does

The HR Onboarding skill provides a structured approach to creating a comprehensive onboarding plan for new hires. This skill generates a single-page HTML document that outlines essential information for a new employee's first week, including a schedule, introductions to their manager and buddy, a learning track, and an equipment checklist. It is designed to help HR professionals and team leaders ensure that new hires have a clear understanding of their roles and expectations from day one.

To use the skill, simply read the active DESIGN.md file to gather the necessary information about the new hire's role and tenure expectations. If these details are not specified, the skill defaults to a standard 30/60/90-day plan. The output includes a cover banner with the new hire's name, role, start date, and introductions, followed by a detailed schedule for the first day and a timeline for the first week. Additionally, it provides milestone cards that outline key outcomes for the first three months, ensuring that both the new hire and the organization are aligned on expectations.

The skill also includes a resource list that directs new hires to important materials such as the employee handbook, relevant Slack channels, and payroll setup instructions. A checklist at the end allows new hires to track their progress, ensuring they know when they are fully set up in their new role. This skill is ideal for HR departments looking to enhance their onboarding process and create a welcoming environment for new employees.
