A good onboarding process makes new hires fit in with existing teams and productively contribute faster. Instead of overwhelming new colleagues with pages of text, diagrams clarify complex topics at a glance.
All of the diagrams in this template have been created with draw.io for Notion, a Chrome extension that embeds a powerful and secure diagram editor right in your Notion page.
Customise and edit the example template diagrams in this process, and add links in the diagrams to your company’s resources, documentation and forms.
