New Employee Onboarding Checklist: 13 Steps to Set New Hires Up to Stay

New Employee Onboarding Checklist: 13 Steps to Set New Hires Up to Stay

Key Takeaways Onboarding is a retention decision, not a paperwork task. Most of the “will I stay here” decision gets made in the first few weeks, long before a performance review ever happens. A checklist beats a memory. The moment onboarding depends on one manager remembering everything, it becomes inconsistent — and inconsistency is what new hires notice first. Clarity beats enthusiasm. A warm welcome matters, but a new hire who doesn’t know what “good” looks like in week one will start doubting the job by week three. Onboarding doesn’t end on day one. The first 90 days matter more than the first morning — that’s where most early departures actually happen. New hires quit for a lot of reasons, but a surprising number of them trace back to the same root cause: the first few weeks felt disorganized, unclear, or like nobody had really planned for them to arrive. The numbers back this up — employees who go through a structured onboarding program are roughly 58% more likely to still be with the company after three years, and organizations with a standard onboarding process see about 50% greater productivity from new hires, according to SHRM. Despite that, only 29% of new hires say they feel fully prepared and supported to succeed in their role once onboarding is over — a gap most companies could close with a checklist, not a bigger budget.

Form Default Settings solves this by letting you define those values once at the team level. Every new form starts with them already in place.
