30-60-90 Onboarding Plan Starter

A 30-60-90 plan gives a new hire a strong start: learn and set up in the first month, start contributing by 60 days, and own the work by 90. This free starter is a single-hire plan you fill in — write two or three real goals per phase, each with an owner, a definition of done, and a target day. Download it, walk the new starter through it in week one, and keep it moving with your check-ins.

Take it with you — free, no signup

Direct download. No email, no account — just the files.

What it does

  • A single-hire 30-60-90 plan with the three fixed phases — learn & set up, contribute & connect, own & grow — each with a clear focus.
  • Give every goal an owner, a definition of done, a target day, and a status from the dropdown, so onboarding is a plan you can both see.
  • Comes pre-filled with a couple of example goals per phase so you can see it working, then overwrite them with your own.
  • Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice — no macros, no signup, nothing saved anywhere but your own file.

Own it, don't rent it

Want to track every new hire, not just one?

This free starter plans one hire on one tab. The full 30-60-90 Onboarding Plan Workbook tracks all your new starters on one board, adds a progress dashboard that flags who's on track, behind, or blocked, a milestone library to build plans fast, and a check-ins log, in one owned 6-tab spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice) plus four guides.

A one-time purchase you keep and reuse for every new starter — the structured plan between a blank spreadsheet and a rented per-seat onboarding platform.

A planning and record-keeping template, not HR, legal, or employment advice, and not a performance-management or probation instrument on its own. The example goals are illustrative. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
