At Headout, in addition to this, we do the following
1. Send swag kit and laptop 1 week before DOJ
2. Make them go through imp documentation and policies, including a training plan structure, which lists what they are supposed to work on and get up to speed with in their 1st week
3. In addition to buddy and manager meet, also make the new joinee meet other folks with whom they would be working with cross-functionally
4. Have a no-holds-barred chat with the founders
5. Have onboarding survey(s) set up so that you get a pulse of what's working and what needs to be fixed
