Why it matters
- Time-to-productivity is the most expensive variable in headcount. A structured onboarding converts investment into output sooner.
Best practices
- Teach the operating model first — the why before the how.
- Practice with real scenarios, not just decks.
- Buddy the new hire with a top performer.
- Verify comprehension at milestones, not just "done with videos".
Common mistakes
- Two weeks of deck-watching, zero doing.
- Onboarding that ends on day 14 and never reinforces.
- No verification — assumed, not confirmed.
Key questions
- What must a new hire know to produce in week one?
- How do we verify they actually know it?
