This Employee onboarding template gives People and HR teams a bounded shared path through Prepare, Welcome and Embed. It starts with Confirm role readiness and ends at Onboarding handoff complete, so the project has a named completion point rather than an open-ended HR process.

Add real dates and owners after creation, and use the milestones to make readiness conversations explicit without treating the template as employment, legal, or policy advice. This public starter intentionally excludes Employee personal data, Employment terms and Private manager notes.
