Those are good examples to use - here's what I would say:
- Make sure they have filled out (this list of required legal documents before you can start work)
- Make sure you have an onboarding plan. Here's what an example onboarding plan might look like.
- Have 1:1s with your manager. Here are some topics you might want to cover in your first week, first month, first quarter, and first year.
For a baby-related illustration - I know, for example, that I'll need to change diapers & make sure the baby is clean. I've never changed a baby's diaper before, so I'll probably watch a bunch of youtube videos and also ask if a friend with a baby will give me a tutorial beforehand. But that's a known unknown for me. I would like to know all of the other basic knowledge that every parent is going to need to have, in order to be successful. So I'm not looking for "advice," I truly am looking for the most fundamental, universal guidance. A great example from my wife's doctor was a 1-page list of things she should stop eating and a 1-page list of medications she can safely take while pregnant.
