With the entire team going a million miles an hour, it can be hard to bring new colleagues up to speed. Things just fall in between the cracks sometimes.

This is where an onboarding overview that the team can just rinse and repeat to streamline the onboarding process of new hires can really help.

We've got a template to get you started right away or take a quick scroll to learn how it works.

Step 1: Create a board to get started

Let's start things off by creating a database that'll house each new hire's onboarding checklist. You can add one by clicking the [+] button on a new line in the editor and selecting 'Board.'

Step 2: Tailor the board to reflect the onboarding process

Let's highlight the different stages of the onboarding process.

Just click the status and rename it - it's as easy as that. For some styling, you can also change the color of the stages as well.

If you're uncertain where certain people are, you can keep the 'No Status' column. Otherwise, you can hide it by clicking on the '...' button.

Step 3: Add employees that need to be onboarded

Go ahead and add where each of the new employees are in the onboarding process. If someone's status changes, each of the cards are draggable so just drag-and-drop the new hire to the appropriate status.
