First-Week Plan

0/6
  • Day one: welcome, paperwork, workspace and logins set up, health and safety induction, and a team introduction
  • Day one: a friendly tour of the building and a clear plan for who they will sit with and what they will do
  • Day two: introduce their main tasks and let them try one small, low-risk job with support nearby
  • Mid-week: pair them with a buddy for real work and check how they are finding things so far
  • Mid-week: cover the systems and policies they will use most, in the order they will actually need them
  • Build in short check-ins each day rather than one big catch-up at the end of the week

Good to know

Acas recommends planning an induction before the worker starts and using the first day to make them feel welcome and complete essential tasks such as bank details, National Insurance number, and right-to-work details.
