Turn our team's documents into an onboarding guide for new hires
Turns a pile of team documents, wikis, and notes into a structured onboarding guide with what to read, learn, and do in the first 30 days.
The prompt
Turn our existing materials into an onboarding guide for someone joining my team.
Role joining: [e.g. "junior financial analyst"]
Team and what we do: [SHORT DESCRIPTION]
Materials: [PASTE or list documents, wiki pages, process docs, slides, glossaries, org charts - with titles]
What new hires struggle with most: [e.g. "our acronyms", "knowing who to ask", "the month-end process"]
First-month goals: [what they should be able to do by day 30]
Build the guide:
1. Welcome and the big picture - what the team does, who our customers or stakeholders are, and how this role contributes.
2. Week-by-week plan for the first 30 days: what to read (from my materials, in priority order), who to meet, what to practice, and a small task to complete each week.
3. Must-read vs. read later - sort every document I gave you, with one line on why it matters.
4. Key processes - a short summary of each core process, with a link to the source document.
5. Glossary - acronyms and team terms found in the materials.
6. Who to ask for what - based on the materials; leave [ADD NAME] where unclear.
7. Self-check questions - 8-10 questions a new hire should be able to answer by day 30.
8. Gaps - topics a new hire will need that my materials don't cover.
Use only what's in the materials for processes and facts; flag anything that looks outdated as [CHECK IF CURRENT].
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
