How it feels: Embarrassment in advance. What you want instead: Welcoming.

## The problem

First impressions count, and every missed item shows the new starter you were not ready.

## How Plexii handles it

An Onboarding desk template with a checklist Task list, Contacts for the buddy and IT, and a Calendar of the first week. Save once, reuse for each starter.

In short: Make an onboarding desk once and use it for every new starter. Checklist, people and first-week calendar, ready before they walk in.
