The Manager's Guide to Onboarding at Mattermost

Mentor For The Day 

• Schedule a 1-1 each day between new staff and team members (including QA and PM) and other devs who would be relevant to meet with for the first two weeks
  • These meetings should be about 30 minutes and do not need to be focused on work topics. They should spend some time getting to know each other
  • The first 1-1 should be between you and the new staff member
• In addition to the above 1-1s, you should meet personally with the new staff member for 5-10 minutes every day for the first week or so to make sure everything is going well

Channels and Teams 

• Make sure new staff is added to the private team Private Core and all relevant channels
• See here for basic list of channels

Meetings and Accounts
