A new hire’s first week, answered.

The questions a new hire actually asks

Who is my manager? Where is the support policy? How do refunds work? A new hire can ask Ask AgOS in plain words and get an answer that cites the page it came from, instead of waiting for someone to reply.

When the handbook does not cover something, AgOS says so. That question then shows up as a suggestion for a page worth writing, so the next hire does not have to ask.

A checklist everyone can see

In People, each new hire gets a checklist: laptop and accounts, meeting their manager, reading the policies, shadowing a call. Every step has an owner and a due date, and owners get an email reminder when a step is coming up or overdue.

Access, given on purpose

Giving the new hire access to the right spaces is staged as an approval. Someone says yes, the change is made and it is recorded. When someone leaves, removing access works the same way, and their record is kept.

How to start

• Add your handbook, policies and onboarding guide to Knowledge. Three to five documents is enough to start.
• Set up the onboarding steps in People.
• Invite the new hire, and point them at Ask on day one.
