100-day onboarding plan

A 100-day onboarding plan that ends with an evidence-based decision.

Primi Centum gives each new hire a role-specific path from starting context to observable outcomes, reviewed evidence, timely support, and a recorded Day 100 decision.

Important qualification

In Primi Centum, 100 days is a defined governance window. It is not presented as a universal scientific cut-off or a replacement for contractual probation, regulated assessment, employment policy, reasonable-adjustment processes, or legal advice.

Public lifecycle

Five principles from role definition to Day 100.

The public lifecycle explains the accountable journey. Programme configuration and customer-specific operating rules remain private.

  1. Define outcomes

    State the observable result, proportionate evidence, and responsible reviewer.

  2. Record context

    Capture initial understanding, access needs, and known support requirements.

  3. Review progress

    Compare concise evidence with the agreed outcome and quality standard.

  4. Assign support

    Record a specific action, responsible person, and review point.

  5. Record the decision

    Summarise the evidence, human judgement, remaining support, and next steps.

Illustrative SMART outcome

Set a concise result that can be reviewed without an essay.

This fictional social media example demonstrates the public format. It is not a customer programme, universal standard, or required threshold.

Outcome
By Day 30, maintain a four-week approved content calendar across the agreed social channels, with named publishing responsibilities and a weekly performance review.
Pass standard
The calendar identifies the channel, owner, and due date for each item; content has recorded brand approval; missed activity has a named recovery action.
Evidence
Provide the approved calendar, published links, approval record, and weekly summary of results and actions.

Evidence, not activity alone

A strong plan connects work completed with the result it was meant to support.

Proportionate evidence

A work output, approved link, system record, completion record, acknowledgement, or authorised observation may be appropriate.

Visible support

A gap leads to a named support action, owner, and review point instead of a vague instruction to improve.

Human judgement

The authorised line manager considers the evidence and context, then records the decision and next steps.
