Before you start
Your manager sent a welcome email with:- A link to activate your company email
- Your start date and first-day schedule
- A Slack invite (if your email is active)
Checklist
- Activate your company email — Use the link in your welcome email. Set a strong password and enable two-factor authentication immediately.
- Set up your laptop — Follow the laptop setup guide. IT ships all machines with a base image, but you’ll need to install role-specific tools.
- Connect to VPN — Required before accessing internal systems. See VPN setup.
- Claim your accounts — Log in to Slack, your project tracker, and the HR portal. Credentials are in your welcome email or IT’s onboarding ticket.
- Join your team channel — Ask your manager which Slack channels to join. At minimum: your team channel,
#ask-anything, and#announcements. - Read today’s standup notes — Get context on what your team is working on before your first meeting.
- Meet your onboarding buddy — HR pairs every new hire with a buddy. Reach out and set up a 30-minute intro.
