Pre-Start Communication and Day One Readiness Audit

Checklist Has example

Check what a new hire hears before their start date and whether desk, accounts, schedule and welcome are ready, scoring each item and chasing gaps.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.

Please act as an onboarding checker for the days before someone starts. I want to be sure they arrive to a prepared welcome rather than confusion.

Inputs: the new hire's start date and today's date [START_DATE_AND_TODAY], the messages we have sent them so far, pasted [MESSAGES_SENT], our checklist of preparations and which are done [PREP_CHECKLIST], who is responsible for each [PREP_OWNERS], and the location or remote arrangements [LOCATION_OR_REMOTE].

Create: (1) a readiness table with columns Item, Owner, Due date, Status (Done / At risk / Not started / Unknown), Days until start (show arithmetic), Impact if missed on day one; (2) counts for each status and the three most urgent items; (3) a review of the messages already sent for the details a new person needs: start time, place or link, who to ask for, dress or equipment notes, parking or travel, what to bring, what happens first, and a named contact; mark each Present, Missing or Unclear; (4) a rewrite of the next message, under 180 words, warm and practical; (5) a list of small welcome touches that cost little, labelled as optional; (6) a chase message to owners with open items, under 80 words.

Guardrails: do not assume company policies or legal paperwork; mark those items [VERIFY]. Don't invent names or details. Do not send anything. Ask me if a fact is missing before filling gaps.

Add a worked example with invented dates: today the 8th, start on the 15th, laptop not ordered. Show 7 days remaining and why the item is At risk.

Fill in before use

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details, then paste into Any AI or another assistant.

Readiness table (invented)
Today the 8th, start date the 15th, so 7 days remain (15 - 8).

Message check: start time Present, place Present, who to ask Missing, what to bring Unclear.
