What we are doing at my company (we have a general onboarding process):

Before the onboarding: - we make sure all access has been give to every SaaS/software/etc needed for the employee to be able to work day one. We have defined a list of access needed for each job (engineering, finance, customer success, etc). - we make sure that we have all necessary hardware (e.g macbook, screens, keyboard etc.) and that all necessary software/update are already there.

Onboarding day: - First meeting is about presenting our company, what we do, our values, the market in which we work, etc. - Second meeting is finalizing the computer setup (e.g. password) - Third meeting is about security (my job). I'm presenting security, talking about our policies and etc. It's a pretty lightweight discussion. - Fourth meeting is the HR meeting (e.g. sign the NDA, talk about insurance, etc.) - Final meeting is a presentation of our application.

All along the day, we make it clear that they can ask any questions, anytime.

After the onboarding: 1 week after the onboarding day, we sent a survey about the onboarding day (what did you like, what could be improved, etc.). Only the Head of HR see this (for confidentiality).
