ONVARA: Google Sites Employee Onboarding Portal Template

ONVARA: A Google Sites Employee Onboarding Portal

ONVARA is a Google Sites template for an employee onboarding portal: the page a new hire opens before the first day and keeps using during the first three months. Plum, lavender and peach give it a friendly look, and every page answers one question a new person usually has.

What this onboarding portal includes

• Home: a welcome block, a roadmap of the first 90 days in four stops, a first-day checklist and a card that introduces the new hire's buddy.
• First week: a day-by-day plan from Monday to Friday, what to prepare before the first day and what to do if something is not ready.
• Who's who: the four people to know first, from the manager to IT support, and how to find anyone else.
• Tools and accounts: a setup checklist for email, chat, shared drive, HR system and password manager.
• Policies: the handbook, time off, expenses and code of conduct, with a note on who to ask.
• Training and FAQ: the courses for the first month and answers to common questions such as payday or sick days.

How HR teams can use it

Make one copy of the template as the master version and duplicate it for each start date or team if the plans differ. Link the real forms and documents from Drive, and check every link with an account that is not yours before sending the portal to a new hire.
