What it does

Builds the new hire's first-day schedule automatically. From the start date it finds open slots, places orientation, an IT equipment-handoff appointment, a workspace/badge pickup, and a manager intro meeting on the calendar with the right attendees, then delivers a tidy agenda so the hire walks in knowing exactly where to be.

When to use it

Use it when day-one logistics are handled by hand and things slip — laptops not ready, no orientation on the books, manager unaware. Best when start dates are firm and your org runs on Google Workspace.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled check runs each morning and finds hires whose start date is within the next five business days.
  2. 2For each, it reads the orientation template and required participants (HR, IT, manager).
  3. 3Google Calendar events are created for orientation, equipment handoff, and the manager 1:1, inviting all parties.
  4. 4A logic step confirms IT has a laptop reserved before booking the handoff; if not, it flags HR.
  5. 5The day before start, a personalized agenda email goes to the new hire with times, rooms, and contacts.
