Onboarding

Step 1 — The Situation

Fortune 500 tech company onboarding new hires across 9 product teams was leaning on a generic week-1 orientation deck. Time-to-first-PR varied 6 weeks across teams, and managers had no shared playbook for the 30/60/90 check-ins.

Step 2 — The Task

As a Senior Learning Experience Designer, I led the end-to-end design and development of this project — from discovery and needs analysis through final delivery and implementation support.

Step 4 — The Solution

Stand up a structured 90-day journey with role-aware modules, a manager toolkit with conversation prompts at every checkpoint, peer-buddy pairing inside HRIS, and a single dashboard so HR + people leaders see real-time progress instead of waiting for the day-90 survey.

Step 5 — The Impact

Outcomes: - 40% faster time-to-productivity across 1,500 hires - 92% completion (vs. 71% on the legacy week-1 deck) - Peer-buddy pairings continued past the program in 71% of cases - Slack milestone celebrations replaced the legacy quarterly recognition email
