SIX WEEKS IN

What’s the right amount of time between an onboarder’s first day on the job and that first “heart to heart” with a manager or coach about the work and how it’s (really) going. Two weeks—way too short. Ninety days—too long.

Six weeks—just about right. Enough time for someone to get their feet wet in a new role and gain a sense of things. Not so long—that course corrections are harder to make.

SIX WEEKS IN offers managers of newly onboarded team members useful questions and topics for that critical check-in conversation. Onboarders enter their comments directly in the tool prior to the meeting to consider their experience and prepare.
