A calmer first week for new hires

The onboarding checklist we use, and the three channels every new teammate joins on day one.

A new hire's first week in chat is usually a flood of channels and no context.

We give every new teammate three channels on day one, a pinned thread of decisions to read, and a buddy who answers anything in a direct message.

Everything else they join when they need it.
