New hire onboarding checklist — pick your trade, print it, tick it off
What a new person needs to be shown on day one, in week one and in week two — by trade, in the order it actually comes up. Print it, hand it to whoever is training them, and tick each line when it's been shown and done together.
A ticked box says it was shown. It doesn't say it was understood.Tiendo puts each routine on the new hire's phone, in their language, and records who confirmed they read it.
Why three phases, not one long list
A new person can't absorb fourteen things on a Monday. Day one is what keeps them and the customer safe. Week one is the routines they'll do every shift. Week two is the parts that need judgement — customers, money, closing alone. Splitting it this way also tells whoever is training them what "done" looks like at each stage.
The topics are the same suggested routines Tiendo offers when you set up an account for your trade, so if you move from paper to the product later, nothing has to be re-thought.
