30-Day Onboarding Check-in

The 30-Day Onboarding Check-in captures critical feedback at a pivotal moment in the new hire journey. By day 30, employees have completed initial training, met their team, and begun contributing. This survey assesses role clarity, training effectiveness, manager support, and early engagement using NPS and multi-dimensional matrix questions. Early identification of onboarding gaps allows HR teams to intervene before disengagement sets in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 30 days an important checkpoint for onboarding?

By day 30, new hires have completed initial training, started real work, and formed first impressions of the role and culture. This is early enough to address issues before they become entrenched, but late enough to get meaningful feedback on the onboarding experience.

What is eNPS and why is it included?

Employee NPS (eNPS) measures how likely new hires are to recommend your company as a workplace. Including it at day 30 captures 'fresh eyes' perspective before employees become habituated. Low early eNPS often predicts turnover.

How should I use the role clarity matrix results?

The matrix reveals gaps between job expectations and reality. If multiple new hires rate 'role responsibilities' or 'success metrics' poorly, review your job descriptions and onboarding content. Manager 1:1s should address individual clarity gaps.

What if new hires give low ratings?

Low ratings are valuable learning opportunities. Use the open-ended responses to understand specific issues. Schedule follow-up conversations for high-effort detractors. Track patterns across cohorts to identify systemic onboarding problems.

How does this differ from day 1 and week 1 check-ins?

Day 1 focuses on logistics and first impressions. Week 1 assesses initial training and orientation. Day 30 evaluates comprehensive onboarding effectiveness - whether the new hire feels productive, integrated, and set up for success in their role.
