Day 1 is categorized by welcoming your new employee, creating a comfortable and inclusive environment through engagement with management and connections with their departmental colleagues. The goal of Day 1 is to provide the new employee with an overview of basic operations as well as creating connection to the department and co-workers.=
The remainder of Week 1 allows the manager to build upon the foundation laid that first day.

The manager will meet one-on-one to review responsibilities, work assignments, expecations, and establish a job specific training plan and schedule.=
