Onboarding calendar generator
Generates a 12-week onboarding schedule — one Monday morning reminder per week across the full 3-month onboarding period, with everything to cover that week listed in the event description.
If this lands on any day other than a Monday, the reminder will shift to the nearest Monday automatically.
FAQs
The file downloaded but nothing happens when I open it
Double-check the file has a
.ics extension and isn't being treated as plain text. In Outlook, use File > Open & Export > Import/Export > Import an iCalendar (.ics) file rather than just double-clicking it, especially the first time.Why have my dates moved off the days I expected?
If a training block lands on any day other than a Monday, it automatically shifts to the next available Monday @ 9am so nothing gets scheduled over a weekend. This is expected behaviour — check the preview list after generating to see exactly which dates were used.
I selected the wrong role — what do I do?
Just change the Role dropdown and generate again — there's no need to refresh the page. Each generation produces a fresh file based on whichever role is currently selected.
Does this also add the events to the new starter's calendar?
No — the generated file only goes into whichever calendar you import it into. The simplest approach is to import it into your own calendar first, then import it into the shared calendar of the new colleague.
What does each calendar event contain?
Each event is a 30-minute Monday morning reminder titled with the week number and theme. The event description lists all suggested topics that should be covered that week — the manager decides the actual day-by-day timing within the week.
