Excel Onboarding Checklist Template – New Hire Tasks, 30 60 90 Day Plan, Progress Tracker

Give every new hire the same great start. One task list, due dates calculated from each start date, and a dashboard that shows who is behind, which owner is late and how far each hire has progressed.

WHAT YOU GET

• 21-task library covering pre-start, day 1, week 1, 30 / 60 / 90 days — fully editable
• Due dates calculate from each hire's start date; DONE / DUE SOON / LATE status per task
• Progress by hire with ON TRACK / BEHIND / COMPLETE status and days since start
• Tasks by phase and by owner (HR, manager, IT, payroll, buddy, safety) with late counts and chart
• KPI tiles: active hires, open tasks, late, due soon, overall progress, hires behind
• 800 task rows, 30 hires — no macros

HOW IT WORKS

1. Open the Settings tab and enter your own lists, thresholds and defaults (yellow cells).
2. Type your records on the Data Entry tab — drop-down lists keep entries consistent, and calculated columns fill themselves.
3. Read the Dashboard. KPI tiles, summary tables and the chart update instantly. No formulas to maintain.
4. A step-by-step Instructions tab is built into the file.

WHO IT IS FOR

HR coordinators, hiring managers and small-business owners onboarding warehouse, office or field staff without an HR system.

Does it work on a phone or tablet? — You can view and enter data in the Excel or Sheets mobile apps; the dashboard is best viewed on a desktop.
Does it work with Numbers, LibreOffice or Excel Online? — It opens in all of them. Drop-downs and conditional colours are supported; chart styling may look slightly different.

Refunds? — Because this is an instant digital download, Etsy does not allow returns. If something does not work as described, message me and I will fix it or make it right.
