Most onboarding plans are long checklists with no proof that accounts work, managers are ready, or the first task teaches the role. This skill starts with the approved role, start boundary, owners, source systems, access authority, and the outcomes the new hire should be able to perform.
The workflow separates requested, scheduled, completed, and verified work. It maps dependencies, limits access to the approved role need, keeps sensitive employee records in authorized systems, and gives delayed equipment, missing accounts, inaccessible training, changed starts, and absent managers explicit recovery paths. Formal employment, payroll, benefits, immigration, accommodation, background-check, and legal decisions stay with their authorized owners.
The final pack includes the onboarding contract, role-readiness model, evidence register, dependency map, preboarding plan, first-week schedule, 30/60/90 learning path, access register, owner matrix, checkpoint log, and an evidence-matched verdict. It does not create accounts, send invitations, invent policies, or call a hire ready because a checklist was assigned.
