Key steps:
•Ship computer to signal commitment
•Clarify leaders, peers, and communication channels
•Ensure tool/environment access for quick first ticket deployment
•Align availability expectations (async vs synchronous)
•Assign dedicated coach for frequent check-ins in first 4-8 weeks
•Use 20-30 item risk checklist to detect onboarding problems
