Prepare onboarding for a new people manager. Their background: [BACKGROUND]. Team size and function: [TEAM_SIZE_AND_FUNCTION]. Company processes they must learn: [PROCESSES]. Challenges expected: [CHALLENGES]. Create a 60-day plan: week 1 to 2 (meet every team member one-to-one using a set of 8 questions; learn the goals and metrics; review current projects); weeks 3 to 4 (set expectations, establish a meeting rhythm, learn HR processes for leave, performance, and pay); weeks 5 to 8 (first feedback cycle, set team goals, review workloads). Provide: one-to-one question list; a "first 30 days" listening summary template; a table of processes with owner and training; legal and policy basics to learn (hiring, discipline, discrimination, health and safety) flagged [VERIFY in [JURISDICTION]]; and a list of common first-time manager mistakes. Add a checklist for their own manager (regular coaching, introductions, clear authority) and a self-check at day 60. Use only the details I gave. Include the 60-day plan as a table with week, activity, and expected outcome, and a short list of five conversations the new manager must have in the first two weeks, with the question to open each one. Keep in mind that this is a draft, not legal or HR advice. Seek review by an employment lawyer or HR professional who knows [JURISDICTION] for anything legal, contractual or policy related.
