The new employee arrived. Who prepared their working day?

Turn workspace preparation, access and a first assignment into a clear route, even if everything currently happens in a messenger.

Illustrative example: a new employee arrives on time. There is a computer but no email access, the manager is in a meeting, and colleagues assume someone else is introducing the work. By lunch, the employee knows the office tea better than their responsibilities.

A simple preparation route helps: a list of actions with owners, dates and checkable results. Start in a document if appropriate, then move it into a shared work system as participants and repetitions increase.

Separate preparation from learning the job

Before arrival, check the workspace, necessary equipment and agreed access. Give each item a specific owner rather than naming “the department”.

Use the first day to enter the working process: where to ask questions, where the current instructions are and what the person should do independently. Do not hand over the entire company archive as an introduction programme.

Authorised employees handle HR formalities under applicable company rules. A working checklist organises actions; it does not replace required documents or professional review of their contents.

Do not collect passwords in a shared task

Specify who approves access and who configures it. An account existing does not prove that an employee can open the required material and perform an action.

Check sign-in with their own account under an agreed procedure. Do not share the manager's password as a temporary solution. A shared record needs the check outcome and owner, not secrets.

Distinguish “access created”, “invitation accepted” and “working scenario completed”. These are different results. Someone can sign in successfully and still not see their assignment.

Name a mentor and a small first outcome

A mentor helps the person navigate work and answers questions. Name a backup for absences. If the employee must search the office for help, the route is not ready.

The first assignment should be safe and clear: for example, find a training enquiry, enter agreed information and send the result for review. Do not use real customers as an unannounced exam.

For a team in Kazakhstan, check instruction languages and meeting times beforehand. For remote employees, rehearsing sign-in and contact with the mentor is particularly helpful.

Organise a route in Bitrix24

Bitrix24 has task templates: prepare a repeated structure and create a separate task for each arrival, including materials, roles and a checklist.

Where different people perform actions with different dates, consider separate tasks or subtasks. A single “employee ready” tick does not explain who has yet to prepare access.

Check task settings, permissions and your portal's available tools. A template does not itself create accounts in every external program; those actions need a separately agreed mechanism.

Check readiness, not the number of ticks

Walk through with a training participant: sign in, find material, contact the mentor and complete a first step. Correct unclear parts so the next newcomer does not repeat the same treasure hunt.

If preparation depends on colleagues' memory, discuss organising it in Bitrix24 with QQDev. Start with one role and its real actions. An existing system is unnecessary: first define the working day you want to prepare.
