Grab Your Free Employee New Starter Checklist

Getting onboarding right sets the tone for the entire employee experience. A clear process makes new hires feel welcome, supported, and ready to contribute – while also making sure you’ve ticked all the compliance boxes.

Our Employee New Starter Checklist gives you a simple, step-by-step framework to make sure nothing gets missed when bringing someone new into the business.

What you’ll get:

  • A full onboarding checklist broken down into before start date, first day, first week, and first month.
  • Practical tasks from contracts, IT setup, payroll, and right-to-work checks through to team introductions and welcome activities.
  • Guidance on HR policies, compliance training, and role expectations.
  • Built-in prompts for feedback and progress reviews.
  • A reusable tool you can apply to every new hire.

 

Why it’s useful:

  • Makes onboarding smooth and stress-free for both HR and the employee.
  • Ensures you cover all legal and compliance requirements.
  • Helps new hires feel supported and integrated from day one.
  • Creates consistency across your recruitment and onboarding process.

We previously worked with a national HR provider that used call centres for their services, all very impersonal!

We heard about HR Caddy from a friend, we found them very approachable, practical and professional.

HR Caddy have supported my business for several years now and I can’t recommend them highly enough. In fact, I have recommended them to a number of my clients and they sing their praises too. 

They have written all of my company policies and contracts which provides me with great peace of mind. 

CLAIRE GADD

We have used HR Caddy for support for the past few years. They continue to provide excellent service helping us out when we have issue we want to sound off other.

All of the staff are friendly, professional and give excellent advice and practical steps. Highly recommend to businesses of all sizes.

JACK WEBB

We have used HR Caddy for 12 months and they have helped us enormously to ensure compliance and are a fantastic partner for our business.

Highly recommend them.

STEVEN BRAZIER

We have worked with HR Caddy for a number of years now and cannot fault the quality of advice, service or support. The approach is always to protect the business and the business owners whilst providing a fully supportive function to all staff at all levels.

They took care of all policy and procedure updates for us and removed the admin burden whilst supporting us to pilot innovative developments like the 4 day week. The best compliment I could pay is that they are very much an internal function to all of us.

FIONA TRENCHARD-DAVIES

As a company we have been using the services of HR Caddy for around 5 years and have always had an excellent professional service. No matter who we deal with we always get clear, concise & accurate advice.

The contracts, handbooks & policies are all of the highest quality and they have helped with disciplinary matters as well. Very highly recommend.

I would not hesitate in recommending HR Caddy to my friends and other business owners as the service I receive has been fantastic.

Louise from HR Caddy has been very professional and always replies to my calls and emails in a very short time and nothing is too much trouble for her..
