How is it different from an onboarding flowchart?

A flowchart shows order and decisions and suits approval steps. This map is a checklist for making sure nothing is missed.

Can I add our logo and colors?

Members can use a custom theme color to match your brand. Add the logo in the exported PowerPoint or Word file.

Can I make one per role?

Yes. Copy it and change the role-specific items under Week one and First month.

Mind map

New hire onboarding checklist mind map template

A new hire onboarding mind map with five points in time: before the start date, day one, week one, the first month and the end of probation, listing who does what. Adapt it to your process, then export PNG, SVG, Word or PowerPoint free.

Previewed in the “Gradient” theme; you can switch themes in the editor

When to use it

HR and team leads can use it to prepare for a new hire, or send it to the new hire as a guide. It is ordered by time, so who does what and when is hard to miss.

Make it yours

Add the owner after each item, such as "Prepare laptop and accounts, IT".
Adjust the nodes between the first month and the end of probation to your probation length.
For remote hires, change the equipment handover to shipping and remote setup.

Draw a new hire onboarding mind map with Mermaid mindmap syntax. The root is New hire onboarding, and the main branches in time order are Before the start date, Day one, Week one, First month, and End of probation, each with three tasks. Put every node on its own line, show levels with space indentation, and do not use list markers or arrows. Output only the mermaid code block.
