<aside> 💡 This is a little retrospective we do with our new starters. I usually take them to grab a coffee somewhere near our office and write down the notes to be always able to come back and reflect on what they provide feedback with. I find this awesome as it helps us to look back on what went well, what went wrong, how did they feel during the first weeks, what made them confused, how can we help them to be more confident in what they are doing. I always got valuable feedback that I am trying to work with and implement tips to improve the current processes.

Focus Area

• [ ] Overall feeling To find out how overwhelmed is your new teammate with our onboarding. Where's your head at?
• [ ] Mood temperature  I often start with asking to rate the prevailing mood on a scale of 1 - 10. It helps me to get the overall quantitative mood temperature, and if the rating is below 10, I always ask WHY, what can we do to be on 10. This feedback helps us to improve the mood of the employee and our onboarding processes!
• [ ] ‍Team leader & team support  Is the one-on-one with her team leader scheduled? How does it work? Tell me about your first one and the last one? How did you feel, what did you discussed? Do you have your 30-60-90 day goals set up? Do you know about your goals? How can you be sure you are doing a good job and meeting the company's expectations in your first, second month?
• [ ] Blockers Do you feel there are any blockers that are making your job more difficult?
• [ ] Expectations Tell me about how your expectations from the interviewing process till now have been changed. What was the time you felt really uncertain in these four weeks?
• [ ] What is the biggest challenge of your first month? What is the most challenging thing in these 4 weeks?
• [ ] Culture Do you feel uncomfortable with anything? What do you like the most about our culture? Have you met everyone? Is there any friction in communication anywhere? Can we improve anything? Would you help us with improving it?
• [ ] Self-development What do you desire to learn in your first month? Have you set up your own personal dev-growth plan?
  1. What skills are you looking to develop?
  2. How can your manager/company help you grow?
• [ ] Ideas Do you have any other ideas for us to improve the onboarding process? Or any other feedback to share?
