Create a 30-60-90 day onboarding plan

Gives new hires a clear path through their first three months.

Lower risk: public info only — Use the role and general goals, not details about a specific person.

Before you start, gather

Name the real [JOB TITLE] and [SUPERVISOR ROLE], and keep your current onboarding checklist handy. Afterward, replace each ADD LATER with systems and trainings from your current onboarding checklist.

Starter prompt

Create a 30-60-90 day onboarding plan for a new [JOB TITLE] at [ORGANIZATION NAME]. Include people to meet by role, systems to learn, goals for each period, check-in meetings with [SUPERVISOR ROLE], and ways for the new hire to learn our mission and community. Do not invent staff names, systems or policies; write ADD LATER for anything I must fill in from our own materials instead of guessing.

Paste the prompt into your AI tool first, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't use real names of clients or donors.

Open an AI tool

You are leaving this guide. Copy the prompt first, then open a tool. The link goes to the website of the company named on each link, in a new tab. That company's terms and privacy policy apply there. Paste the prompt in, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't enter real names or confidential details.

Check the result

Share the plan with the new hire's supervisor and adjust the goals to be realistic.

What it might get wrong

Systems, trainings or meetings your organization does not have. Goals too heavy for the first 30 days. A probation or review date presented as a policy you never set.
