How an EA Runs New‑Hire Onboarding

A great hire can stumble without a clear first two weeks. A short list sets them up to contribute fast.

How an EA Runs New‑Hire Onboarding

Week 0: set the stage

Accounts, devices, key docs, role brief, and org chart ready to go. New hires should start with confidence.

Day 1: clear, warm welcome

Team intros, a walkthrough of tools and norms, and first tasks with a buddy.

Week 1: build momentum

Regular check‑ins, a small project, and a simple feedback loop.

Week 2: confirm the basics

Close access gaps, confirm goals, and plan the next 30–60 days.

Relatable example

By end of week two, your new hire knows who does what, where to find resources, and how success will be measured.
