Onboarding a new technician in their first week

A simple five-day plan so a new hire is useful quickly and safely.

  1. Day one: paperwork and safety. Complete forms, licences check and a safety walk-through.
  2. Day two: ride along. Let them watch how you talk to customers.
  3. Day three: supervised work. Give a small job while you stay close.
  4. Day five: review. Talk through what went well and what to practice next.
