Make day one feel like someone was waiting

Email Carly the new hire's details and she'll spin up the BambooHR checklist, add them to the right Slack channels, build a personalized Notion welcome page, and pair them with a buddy — so day one doesn't start with 'what's my login?'

Day one feels intentional

Email this to Carly to kick it off.

Hey Carly,

We've got a new hire starting Monday — please get their week-one set up. Start the BambooHR onboarding checklist for their role, then invite them to the team and role-specific Slack channels. Build a personalized Notion welcome page with their reading list and first-30-days goals. Pair them with a buddy from the team and have the buddy send an intro DM on Slack. Finally, book a recurring Tuesday HR sync on the new hire's calendar.

Ping me on Slack when everything is set up so I can do a final pass.

Thanks!
